Tlf
Tlf, originally developed by Rein Couperus, PA0R, is now developed by Tom, DL1JBE and a supporting cast. Hamlib is used to get the rig's frequency and mode and track dx spots when logged in to a DX-cluser. Tlf is a contest logging program with networking support. Its user interface is partially based on TRLOG.
Tucnak
