based on your e-mail, my question is: which exchange field did
you mean?

that's _your_ exchange, which you (need) to send.

The "received" exchange field is right to the callsign field.

Tlf fills it automatically in some cases (eg. CQWW, other contest
where the exchange is some zone), but you can make an
initial_exchange list, which you can pass to Tlf. If Tlf found a
callsign in that list, then fills the exchange field, eg. DARC
XMAS, DARC Easter-egg, ARRL-DX, IARU HF champ, and so many
others.

SHORT_SERIAL will send the shortest form of numbers, eg. 9 -> N,
0 -> T, ...
