It's been a while since I followed the logic.  Maybe that's why I sent

I agree.  I use 'git grep' a lot to find my way around.  I do this with
Hamlib and I've been developing on it for 15 years or so!

I think it would be useful for a lot of US QSO parties.  Not every state
has its own party so there are far less than 50 as some states do one

participants.  How many Tlf users would this impact immediately, well,
me, for one.  :-D
