The FOC QSO Party takes place on Saturday 23rd March -
all day, 0000 - 2359. It is CW-only on the 6 HF contest
bands.
Rules at http://g4foc.org/qso-party
This is a QSO Party, and not a contest. Everyone
is welcome - whether members and non-members, and
there's no need to send in a log. Simply report
your QSO totals shown in SD's Score Window.
SD V17.00 is free and unrestricted for use in the
FOC QSO Party - from www.ei5di.com or direct from
www.ei5di.cm/sd/sdsetup.exe
Select the "FOC QSO Party" template.
FOC members work everyone. Others work FOC members
only - the ones giving a number as well as their
name. Call CQBW - the BW stands for Bill Windle,
after whom this event used to be named.
SD prefills the exchange (Name & FOC Number) when
a member's call is typed, and tracks members and
non-members by band.
If you hear and type a membership number (instead
of a callsign), SD displays the callsign and name,
and dupe-checks the QSO. If it's not a dupe, Enter
moves the call to the callsign field and, again,
prefills the exchange.
When using SD to send exchanges, whether directly
or with WinKey, use Shift-F2 to update SD's exchange
with your Name, or Name and Number as appropriate.
Send a brief note to kz5d@aol.com with your QSO
totals - Members and Non-members by band. Again,
they are shown in SD's Score Window.
73,
Paul EI5DI
