Re: [Tlf-devel] 0.9.28 tlf for spdx rtty

[Rein Couperus PA0R]

Rolf,

I have had a look at the rules for this contest, and at the moment tlf
is not able to do the scoring... (SM3CER's website is online again, I
had problems with the polish :)

The contest uses 10 points for dx, has 2 different multiplier types and
it wants me to multiply the score with the number of continents
worked... the DX_&_SECTION mult is broken at the moment, I don't know
why.

The organizers are getting more crazy all the time, and I am not
prepared to program this nonsense in C anymore.

At the moment I am writing a separate scoring module which is much more
flexible (it is a separate program, which takes the logfile as input and
outputs a scored logfile and a scoring table). I think it will be ready
by the end of this week, and I will take the SPDX-RTTY and the IOTA as
an example. I may even be able to provide a separate scoring window...

As I am writing this in perl it will be possible to quickly program even
more silly contests in future :)

Stay tuned...

73, Rein PA0R
