The European HF Championship takes place on Saturday 3rd August
from 10:00 - 21:59 UTC.

SD offers an exact match for this contest.  Further, it's
supported in the DEMO shareware version.  Anyone can use the
latest version of SD from http://www.ei5di.com/sd/sd991.zip - you
don't have to be registered.

Here's a summary of the rules.  Full rules are available at
http://lea.hamradio.si

Work EU stations only,

Categories:
  They are all single-op, all band  160 - 10m
  There are no multi-op or single band categories.

 CW only, high or low power
 SSB only, high or low power

For single-mode entries, you're allowed a maximum of 10 band
changes per full clock hour (for example 11:00 to 11:59 UTC).  For
mixed-mode, you can have a maximum of 10 band and/or mode changes
per full clock hour (for example, 3 mode changes and 7 band

________________________________________________

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your .LOG and .SUM files.
Edit your .SUM file as necessary.  Rename them to YOURCALL.LOG and
YOURCALL.SUM, where YOURCALL is the callsign you used, and attach
them to an email to euhfc@hamradio.si by 31st August.  In previous
years it was recommended that you indicate your entry category in
the subject line of your email.  For example, EI5DI EUHFC 2002 MIX
LP.  It's probably best to retain this convention.
