Ups!
I am sorry.... at the end we take part as multi-multi as we did not know how
to use multi-2 with tfl O:-)
No problem... the main thing was to make qsos and radio... we were not to win
;-) as we are a not experienced team...
I am the only team member who "makes radio" daily... the others don't and two
of us have passed their examination but they don't have a rig so they only
make radio on contest! :-)
So we take part on contest just for fun.

Ok.
Now i can say the cabrillo is ok (i think)

Please....

I have not found the paper we wrote as the bugs were apearing...
Here is my "by-mind bug list":
*Some VE stations don't generate the proper zone and generates ")5" and so
on... (i have read in the list about this bug)
*We had to modify twice the zone when the zone received were different from
the proposed by tlf.
*We couldn't enter D4B station as it "autoentered" "D4" so we had to edit the
log or add a comment... it is a BIG problem as you cannot work D4B and any
other D4 station as they are "duped" ;-)
*TLF crashed with a segmentation fault if you enter too much characters in the
"call" field... to test it just keep a key pressed for a while ;-)
*TLF does not recognise time zones... so you must set the proper time on your
computer.
*A BIG problem.... is that during the contest the time changed... and we
didn't notice that until 4 hours after the computer had changed automatically
the time and our logs were bad timed :-(
Another problem... or wish for the "TODO" list would be a "time sincronyzation
mini protocol" to have sincronyzed logs... and not having to set the time on
the net... just for that all the PC's on the net could sincronize (the
precision should only be adjusted to 1 minute) with the "minor IP" or any
other algoritm... just for not receiving QSOs from the future ;-) so a "sort
+3" and a "sort +2" to the logs should be the same :-)
*We needed two "enter hits" to enter a QSO.
*Not a bug but a not user friendly feature is when you, for example in the
contest hear only "TV"... you enter "TV" in the call field and then you hear
the complete call... "EA4TV"... you cannot just hit "begin" and then enter
"EA4"... as you overwrite the "T" ;-) It is important in a pile-up with lot
of noise when you cannot hear properly or when the pile-up is heavy.
*Not a bug but an incomplete feature is that if you modify something with "@"
once you have entered the QSO... the modification is not "retransmited" so
the data is not the same in all logs!
And if you edit the log... the log is not "re-read" until you restart tlf.
A good feature would be to re-read the log just after an edition and sending
the modifications throgh the net :-)
Once again... we missed a nice "log edition" and a way to keep the same logs
in all the computers... as in a 48h hight load period is quite easy to have a
computer or network problem... or... just imagine you add a new computer on
saturday afternoon to the network... (as we did... we were using a "wireless
network" and we started another PC with tlf on saturday... so we had to stop
pile-ups and searching to copy the logs from one to another and start it ;-)
)
The "nice log edition" would be a QUICK way to edit a call... the best way for
all of us would be the "up cursor" and then delete and insert... just as CT.
¿Could it be possible? It would earn a lot in user friendlyness :-)
And the error correction or database sincronization protocol... would need
some thinking before implementing ;-) but we could help on that.
Thanks & 73
