NOTE : Time and date for this contest appears to have
changed. It used to be (and is listed in most Contest
Calendars) as from 0000-0400z Saturday 17th January, but
the website is saying 1800-2200z, today, Friday 16th.
Anyway, it is CW-only on 40 & 80m, with rules at
www.lzopen.com/lz-open-contest/rules/rulesF.htm
SD V17.54 supports this event. It is free from www.ei5di.com.
Select the "LZ Open" template.
Work everyone.
Exchange Serial + Serial Received from the previous QSO.
Send 001 000 for your first QSO. There are no reports.
When logging exchanges, log the two serials in the
same field, nut separated by space or /.
There's no need to enter leading zeros. For example,
5/32 is logged as 005 032, and 005 is used by SD's keyer
in your exchange for the next QSO. Please experiment
on a test log before the contest.
Dupes are a function of time only, regardless of band.
A dupe is any QSO with a particular station within 30
minutes of the previous QSO. You may work each station
every 30 minutes or so throughout the contest. In the
four hours available, it's possible to have up to 8 QSOs
with a single station. SD displays an individual
countdown timer for every callsign, and highlights those
that have recently become available to work again.
Before the contest, update SD's F2 CW memory (the exchange),
with Shift-F2, to remove the #R (RST) parameter. Suggest
#C #S#E
Use SDCHECK, after the contest, to create your Cabrillo
.LOG file, and send it to lz1gl@yahoo.com.
Please mention SD in your Cabrillo soapbox comments.
73,
Paul EI5DI
