There's a change in the SPDX rules for 1999. Multipliers are now single character Province codes (16), and each counts once on each band, irrespective of mode. SD, my contest logger, is fully working
I go along with this. There should be someting unique in every exchange - where's the skill in sending 59100 or 5914 for every QSO? Why not vary RST? SD lets you vary RST Sent and will generate rando
My suggestions: W/VE Send Serial and State. Serial is different for every QSO. It forces the listening station to listen, and it facilitates post-contest log checking (by ARRL). State is needed for m
There seems to be two main objections to changing the exchange. 1. It ain't broke. It is broke! When stations send the same (identical) exchange in every QSO, the only variable is callsign. We might

SDI (SD for IOTA) is the only contest logger dedicated to the IOTA Contest, and has been since the contest started in 1993. As such, it has features specific to this event not found on any other cont
The new FCC Chairman may not understand how Amateur Radio differs from all other radio services. This is correct, but it is irrelevant because PSK31, and other data modes, cannot be decoded by the hu
If you need a logger for this contest, the demo version of SD is fully working and unrestricted for overseas entrants (outside the UK). You can download it from http://www.ei5di.com/sd/sd994.zip (539
I've just completed a token single-band entry on 10m, with some 300 QSOs replying to other CQ calls. In all cases my exchange was "Thanks one four", except very occasionally when I added "five nine"
Hi George, I agree with your sentiments, but it's not likely to happen. In the major contests, QSO rate is everything. Further, if additional/alternative data is to be recorded, you would have to hav
