Hi Alan, Glad you got it figured out. A couple of extra things for running on Ubuntu: I like to run tlf in a big terminal, and use urxvt as a terminal for that. My startup settings for that are urxvt -fn "xft: Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16" Also, not a huge fan of the default colors, so I us

Hi Austin, When you wrote the Cabrillo file, when it asks for "exchange", did you put "# Q 91 MO" (that was my exchange, you would put whatever yours was in there)? If you do that, it should populate the Cabrillo file correctly. 73, Jim KK0U On Thu, 12 Nov 2020 02:49:48 -0500 "Austin Seraphin,

Hi Drew, Thanks for your input. I also had questions about how to get tlf set up for this contest. In the end, I made a multiplier file with all the counties, and added a format line to cabrillo.fmt line. It wouldn't score the mults during the contest, but wrote them correctly in the cabrillo f

Real RST possible?

First, I know there is the CHANGE_RST directive, but for QRP contests (at least in the states), many times ops send an actual RST -- 33N, 439, etc. Is there any way to incorporate this in both the received stations data (I imagine it would be in the exchange field, like a serial number) and for t

As a dedicated TLF-user, non-programmer and Stew Perry participant in the past, keep in mind that the Stew Perry often has additional weirdo scoring schemes (which IMO, one shouldn't try to program into TLF). The scoring based upon distance (a hallmark of the Stew) would be very cool, though. -
