[UK-CONTEST] TLF

[Andy Summers]

Hi,

I thought it might be interesting to linux users to bring to your attention
TLF.

I've also just updated the TLF Wiki to add a Fedora 11 install how-to:
http://tlf.wikispaces.com/

It's a contest logger that feels a lot like DOS loggers of old, e.g. CT/TR.
I originally started using it in January for 80mCC because the PC I had at
the time was too slow to run SD under Wine. I've used it ever since at home
and can recommend it. My personal preference would be to use N1MM, but I
don't use Windoze at home anymore. The main thing I miss is the bandmap, but
everything else is catered for. I don't 'do' data, but as well as CW & SSB
support it interfaces to fldigi. The bit I really like is it's open source,
so I'm able to make changes to suit me if I want.

On the down-side, it seems the author isn't actively supporting the project
right now because he has another project taking all his time. Also, the
e-mail reflector isn't too active. Anyhow, if you run linux I'd recommend
taking a look. I've not found anything else native to linux that comes close
to it for contest logging.
