Duffey,

Instead of running logheaded.tcl, you need to run logheaded3.tcl.
It took quite a while to figure this out -- it ain\'t documented

OBTW, a lot of CQ WW VHF rovers are going to be upset:

Nearly half that submitted with a \"/R\" callsign have been classed
as something _other_ than \"ROVER\".
