[SD-User] SDI in the IOTA Contest

[Paul EI5DI]

If you were on an island, you probably know that you're entitled to
credit your own IOTA Ref as a multiplier on each band and mode
activated - even if no corresponding QSOs were logged.  That means a
maximum of 5 additional mults for CW or SSB entrants, and 10 for
mixed-mode entrants (again, this applies to island stations only).

I'll update SDICHECK, within the next two weeks, to do this for you
automatically. It will list "bonus" multipliers on a separate line on
the Summary Sheet, and will include them in the Claimed Score figure.
This will still give you plenty of time to submit your log before the
deadline at the end of August.

Other glitches.

A few users, myself included, found that SDI (V9.82) looped when
trying to enter an invalid IOTA reference - the only options being to
interrupt the program with Ctrl/Break or rebooting the computer.  My
apologies for this.

There were a couple of errors in the SDIOTA.CTY file.  The entry for
Jersey was "eu099=EU103", rather than "eu013=EU099".  If you noticed
any others, please let me know.
