Started work on Renfield

Renfield is an amateur radio contest contact aggregation server for [Not1MM](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm). It uses [Textual](https://textual.textualize.io) for rendering the interface. This provides the user with either a CLI or a web interface depending on how it is launched.

20M has been pretty much useless the whole day. The S9+ QRM must be close 'cause the front end overload light is winking at me. Tomorrow I'll kill the main circuit breaker and pray it's in my own house.

#HAMRADIO

Yesterday I pushed a commit adding a rate window to Not1MM. It had a wee flaw that crashed on launch. Feel free to update. No matter how much you test, test some more. Mia Culpa. I never took Latin, So I could be ordering a coffee...

I've been slacking off.

Changed the way not1mm detects fldigi QSOs. Switched from monitoring the fldigi qso file for changes, to listening for fldigi ADIF UDP traffic. Much cleaner.

Pushed a new version of not1mm to PyPI.

Merged a PR adding docking widgets and I believe it now also works on Windows and MacOS. At-least thats what I'm told.

And I think dark mode is finally sorted out. Some day I'll figure out how to get it on Flathub.

Tried using low temp flux core aluminum brazing wire to braze some threaded inserts into some arrow shafts to make a VHF antenna. Attempt are from left to right. There was much swearing on the left side. The arrow shafts and inserts wanted to melt very close to the brazing wire melt temp. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know.

Pushed an update to AuGratin, giving it a better bandmap.
