In an attempt to understand how to use TLF an attempt was made to modify the rules for US State QSO party contests.
Following the rules/templet example, a data file listing the multipliers for the Michigan QSO party was created. In most US State contests the multipliers are, for a station within that state, the counties in that state plus other states, and DX. For stations outside of that state the multipliers are the counties within the state sponsoring that contest. In the rules for this contest, the following changes to the templet examples were made: CONTEST=Michigan QSO Party MULT_LIST=filename SERIAL_EXCHANGE SERIAL_SECTION SECTION_MULTI (in various combinations) When SECTION_MULTI is enabled, test data being entered is rejected with TLF prompting for "section ?", and failing to match any data entered with the data in the multiplier list. When SECTION_MULTI is disabled, test data is accepted, and logged, but scoreing is not correct; multipliers and points are not tallied. (The thought occurs to me that I could enter the data, and score it later?) The versions tried were Debian version 0.9.22, and the source for 0.9.30. Source compilied without difficulty. Looking at the source, (I can't code!! Barely able to understand the comments!!) it appears that various fuctions are hard coded to data files. Could I then modify the section data, and simply run as an arrlss contest? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
