This was my first year of using TLF networked at Field Day. We
coordinated two multi-band SSB tents using networked TLF. It worked
flawlessly (To be fair, we didn't throw any corner cases at it: laptops
crashing, et. al. ). I am personally quite pleased with TLF, but it
has limitations and not everyone is a fan of the TR interface.
We have VHF/UHF at our site, they logged on paper this year. The
GOTA station used some Windows program. Digital uses software for
communications which also does a great (integrated) job of logging. I
think the CW station uses Writelog.
The predjudice that TLF is hard to use, Some folks' preference for
Windows would be hard to overcome. The lack of VHF/UHF support is a deal
breaker for that tent. Digital station has such a neat package already
I don't even plan to try.
I will work on the CW guys next year, touting the benefit of
sharing information between tents.
TLF is a fabulous program. Thank you for your hard work Rein.
