Here is the converter that transforms TLF UDP QSO messages into WinTest format.
https://github.com/zcsahok/tlfudp2wintest
The overall set-up is as follows
TLF --UDP 9873--> Converter --UDP 9871--> HamConnect --> hamaward.cloud
The steps to get it running, assuming everything runs on the same host:
1) set up HamConnect to listen for WT UDP on their default port (9871)
2) add a node to TLF and start the logger
ADDNODE=127.0.0.1:9873
note that the port is not the WT port as we direct traffic to the converter
note2 use rig control to get a valid freq in the log
3) start the converter
$ python3 tlfudp2wintest.py -d
2024-12-14 08:33:18,006 Listening on 127.0.0.1:9873
2024-12-14 08:33:18,007 Sending to 127.0.0.1:9871
4) after about 2 minutes freq and time messages shall appear
2024-12-14 08:34:40,007 *** 9 bytes from 127.0.0.1
2024-12-14 08:34:40,009 b'A5 7030.1'
2024-12-14 08:34:40,011 *** 12 bytes from 127.0.0.1
2024-12-14 08:34:40,011 b'A71734165280'
5) log a QSO on TLF
6) check converter log
2024-12-14 08:35:00,262 *** 89 bytes from 127.0.0.1
2024-12-14 08:35:00,263 b'A1 40CW 14-Dec-24 08:35 0006 W1DEMO 599

2024-12-14 08:35:00,263 Qso(call='W1DEMO', freq=7030100.0, mode='CW',
rst_s='599', rst_r='599', exhange='', seq=6, time=1734165197)

7) check HamConnect/HamCloud
