[RTTY] DL-DX Contest

[Jon Harder]

A look at the German language rules shows: --

"QSO EU-Stationen mit DL = +3 Punkte
   QSO Stationen außerhalb EU mit DL = +5 Punkte"

So, it's 3 points for European stations working a DL, and 5 points for
stations outside Europe working a DL.

Vy 73 und 55,   see you in this new contest!
