This is a 4-hour event from 2100z Saturday 15th November.
It is single-op CW-only on 160m - 1810-1870kHz.
Rules at
http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2014/r2nd-160m-2014.shtml
SD V17.50 is free from ei5di.com
Select the "RSGB 1.8 November" option.
UK entrants, enter your district code on the
opening screen. Non-UK entrants - enter two
spaces.
UK and EU stations work everyone. Entrants outside EU
work UK and EU only.
Exchange Serials. UK stations add their 2-character
district code. SD lets you enter UK serials and district
codes as a single field (no space needed between fields).
Leading zeros are not required.
For example: 15LN, followed by Enter, is logged as 015 LN
UK stations should edit SD's exchange messages - F2, F4
F6 (using Shift-F2 etc) to include their district code.
Scoring is 2 points per QSO, and 5 bonus points for the
first QSO with each UK district and for the first QSO
with each non-UK country.
The Austrian 160m and Russian WW contests overlap with
this event. In each case "home" stations send a serial
and their own 2-character district codes. When working
non-UK stations, SD normally logs the QSO after the serial.
To log non-UK district codes, you should press Tab (not
Enter) after the serial. If you forget and log the QSO
too soon, use Up Arrow to edit the logged QSO - tab
across to the district code field. Non-UK districts
do not score bonus points.
You should practice on a test file before the contest.
