Hi
The original NFD is a co-ordinated CW field day contest within IARU Region
1, its just no-one seems able to agree on a common set of rules so that we
can compare logs accros Region 1 which is a pity.

> NFD rules assign the following points:
> Fixed stations within Europe: 2 pts
> Fixed stations outside Europe: 3 pts
> /P & /M stations within Europe: 4 pts
> /P & /M stations outside Europe: 6 pts
>
> Compare this with this weekend's contest (IARU Region 1 SSB
> Field Day) rules:
> Fixed stations within IARU Region 1: 2 pts
> Stations outside IARU Region 1: 3 pts
> /P & /M stations within IARU Region 1: 5 pts
>
> NB Europe isn't equivalent to IARU Region 1 and unless CTY.DAT
> has IARU Region numbers, I suspect that getting TR to correctly
> log SSBFD will be difficult.

> Is it possible to configure TR to correctly score this contest?

> IOTA summary sheet generation needs to ask if the station was
