Possibly one who is more familiar with TR-LOG would say the same thing
in regards to TLF. I personally have not used either. I have used
QRPDUPE (Windows, free as in free beer) in a few contests, but it
really isn't for serious contesters, IMHO.

As are mine (all my programming has been in Fortran and that was 30
years ago). Since you are familiar with CT, I will concentrate on
TR-LOG/TLF.

Most of the required perl modules are already available in woody, but
not in potato. There were one or two which were not, but I was able to
use dh-make-perl to automagically create packages for them.

There is also DXNET by F5MZN, but I haven't tried it. It is free under
the GPL, but doesn't appear to have been updated recently.
