The Russian District Award Contest (RDA) takes place from
08:00 UTC on Saturday 20th to 07:59 UTC on Sunday 21st August.
There are CW, SSB and Mixed sections, for both HP and LP, on
the 6 contest bands from 10-160m.
Rules at http://rdaward.org/rdac1.htm
SD V15.50 supports SO entries - www.ei5di.com.
Russian Entrants - select the "RDA, Russia" template
Others - select the "RDA, DX" template.
Work Russians only, if you're outside Russia. SD displays
inappropriate callsigns or prefixes in red. If they're
not red, they're OK to work for points.
Russians: Send RST + 4-character district code.
Others : Sent RST + Serial.
SD adds new district codes to the RDA district-code
reference file as they are logged. It also loads RDA.LST
at startup (if you're not using V15.50, you can get an
up-to-date RDA.LST from www.ei5di.com/sd/rda.zip). This
is a callsign database with some 26000 Russian callsigns
extracted from previous RDA logs. SD then auto-fills the
4-character district code on a callsign match.
Use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo .LOG file. Ensure that
the CATEGORY: record corresponds to one of the options
listed in the rules.
Please mention SD in your Cabrillo soapbox comments - this
encourages others to try it.
Email your log, as an attached file, to rx3rc@rdaward.org.
73,
Paul EI5DI
