The RSGB 1.8MHz contest runs from 1900 - 2300z on Saturday
13th February.  Note the changed times - two hours earlier
than before.  It is CW-only on 160m.

Rules at
http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2016/r160m.shtml

SD V18.19 supports this contest - www.ei5di.com

  Select the "RSGB 1.8 MHz" option.
    UK entrants, enter your district code on the
    opening screen.  Non-UK entrants - leave this
    field blank.

Work everyone, exchange Serials.  UK entrants add their
2-character district code.  SD lets you enter serials and
district codes as a single field (no space needed), and
leading zeros are not required.

For example: SD logs 5LN, followed by Enter, as 005 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, with 5 bonus points for the
first QSO with each UK district and for the first QSO
with each non-UK country. SD indicates bonus QSOs by
highlighting the district code, or the callsign for a
bonus country, in previously logged QSOs.

The Dutch PACC contest overlaps with this event. PA
contesters send their own 2-character district code
but no serial.  SD expects this district code to be
logged in the Serial field.  Non-UK districts do not
score bonus points.

Upload your Cabrillo log from SDCHECK at

Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.

73,
Paul EI5DI
