One of the limitations I have had with Tlf in the past is aliasing a list of multiplier strings to a single multiplier. To wit, like many US QSO Parties, the Kansas QSO Party has a different set of multipliers for in-state and out of state stations.
For out of state stations the situation is straight forward, the 105 counties in Kansas which are three characters in length. For in-state stations, such as myself, it is a bit more complicated as our multipliers are the other 49 states using the USPS two-letter state abbreviations and the 14 Canadian provinces, also by a two letter abbreviation, and DX for the rest of the world. When an in-state works another in-state we exchange the three letter county abbreviation, however, only the first exchange counts for Kansas, so we have a total of 64 multipliers! In its current iteration, Tlf treats the three letter county abbreviations as a new multiplier for each, but this is clearly wrong per our rules. To provide an accurate log summary I use a custom Python script to process the log after the event. It would be nice to have Tlf count the multipliers properly and verify the entered exchange against the list to avoid typing errors. How best can we accomplish this? 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
