V15.26 7th December 2010
AUDIT to .TXT File:
Toggled by the AUDIT command. This is an
separate (from the .AUD file) additional,
simplified, text audit file which includes
callsign reference data from any associated
.LST file. It is useful as a record of
club members worked.
This option was broken in V15.00. Fixed.
Thanks G4BJM.
General Purpose Templates:
There are now two sets of general-purpose
templates, for use in most contests with
no multipliers - and for which a dedicated
template has not been supplied.
The first set is for events where you
exchange serials only (apart from RST).
No Mults - CW
No Mults - SSB
No Mults - Mixed
SD still tracks countries by band/mode,
as appropriate, because it's often useful
to know, but ignores country totals for
scoring purposes.
The second set is for events where you
exchange at least two data elements, one
of which may be a serial - for example,
Serial & Name, or Serial & Membership No.
General - CW
General - SSB
General - Mixed
The data elements must be separated by
Space. If the first element is numeric,
SD assumes it is a serial and inserts
leading zeros, as appropriate, when the
QSO is logged. Countries are not tracked.
If you're not sure which template to use
for a specific event, try as many as you
need, and observe what happens. You can
change QSO points by editing the relevant
template (.TPL) file at any time - even
after the contest. Template file names are
held in TEMPLATE.TXT. Please experiment,
and let me know if you develop new templates.
SDV:
SDV is free and is suitable for the vast
majority of RSGB VHF contests.
From 2011, Large Square multipliers count
only for QSOs with UK stations.
SDV V14.31 has been updated accordingly.
In general, SDV is not supported - whether
in terms of bug fixes or enhancements, and
that's why it is free.
