> place - Had to mention the sponsors as they are most generous.

> - Regarding SO 2 Bands category:
> - It is not Cabrillo standard, so  competitors should select SOAB in N1MM
> and work two(or more) bands. Upon upload to the robot they chose the
> category SO2B and selected two bands they wanted to submit.
> - Didn't really check so detailed other software for that, DXLog has
> support for SO2B but still, you can operate on all 6 bands there is no
> software limit so you choose your own bands, having in mind the rule saying
> that for EU stations one of two bands must be 160, 80 or 40 M
>
> - Also, VA2WA and CONTEST.RUN is adopted for 9A DX live score posting, keep
> in mind it's still not tested especially the SO2B category may be the issue
>
> - DXLog & N1MM have prefilled database of 9A multipliers (license plate
> abbreviations) - use it carefully as some errors may be found inside
> (really, not so different to MASTER.DTA file for cqww hi )
> not sure if DXLog is needed to download and update that file manually, it
> was so on my PC, so the file is located here:
> http://dxlog.net/sw/files/download/database/9ADX_db.txt
> (It needs to overwrite original file in C:\Program Files
> (x86)\DXLog.net\Database)
>
> Hopefully, we will meet on air this weekend, and all participants will have
> good conditions and, what is most important - fun!
>
> CU This weekend
>
> P.S. - Please report all software (and other) issues toHF-9A at HAMRADIO.HR  so
> we can improve for next year! Don't be harsh on software bugs, all authors
> & contributors are stars!
