I'm afraid you can't set up this - CQWW has a special code inside
of Tlf, and if you'll try to overwrite any option, then different
disfuncions will arrives... I've tried some options, but have not
been successfull.

The correct scoring and multi's handling are missing now - but
the received reports can be handled correctly, and the claimed
scores depend based on the sent log, not your calculation.

This is _not_ so good, I don't like this half-done-work, but now
I don't have so much time. :(

We're workink on it, if I can finish the WAEDC patch (the RTTY
mode still to come), I would like to start to rewrite the inside
scoring and multipliers handling.


If you'll try this patch, and you have any problem, just let me
know!
