I would recommend you "tlf" for HF contests, even though I still use xlog
for VHF/UHF contest :)

Ask for it? which you did :)
I've just added support for the Icom 746/pro in Hamlib [http://hamlib.org],
which is the control library used by xlog (and tlf BTW).
You will have to pull it out the CVS repository if you want to use it
for the cqww. If you're not familiar with CVS, you may wait for the next
release, and in the meantime, use the icom756 from the xlog drop-down list,
and set the config parameter "civaddr=0x56" for the Ic746 (only in xlog
0.9?).

GL & see you in the contest (you may find my little pistol in the QRM :).
