It takes place, tomorrow, Saturday 8th February - from 2000-2359z
inclusive. Categories include CW-only, SSB-only, and Mixed-CW/SSB.
It's an everyone-works-everyone event on 160m only.
UK stations send Serial and UK District Code - others send Serial only.
Rules at https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2025/r160m.shtml
I've updated SD for the new rules. V22.18 is free from www.ei5di.com
When logging PA stations, or any others that don't send a serial, enter
zero in the Serial field. For non-UK stations, do not enter anything in
the UK District Code exchange field - it's for UK QSOs only.
If you don't have rig-control, make sure to log on your chosen mode(s)
at all times. Change mode with the "C" or "S" commands. With
rig-control, it's done automatically.
Take care to update (and test) your CW messages F1 to F6 before the
contest, with Shift-FI to Shift-F6. Suggested contents in the following
format - substitute your call and district code as appropriate.
"Running" - F1 to F4 - spaces are significant
F1 - your CQ call - "EI5DI EI5DI TEST"
F2 - the exchange - "#C 5NN #S XX#E" Callsign logged, 5NN, Serial
Sent, District Code, Enter
F3 - Thanks you - "TU EI5DI #E"
F4 - Dupe message - same as F2 - it's quicker to work and log dupes.
"S&P" - F5 and F6
F5 - own Call - "EI5DI"
F6 - the exchange - "5NN #S XX #E"
Upload your Cabriilo log (from SDCHECK ), by 23:59 Sunday, to the RSGB
Robot at
https://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl
You choose your entry category at the start of the upload process - it's
no longer needed in SDCHECK
73,
Paul EI5DI
