The European HF Championship takes place today, Saturday
2nd 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
SD V10.03 from http://www.ei5di.com - you don't have to be
registered.  You'll need an updated SDCHECK to give the
correct Cabrillo format log for this contest - get it from
http://www.ei5di.com/sd/sdcheck.zip (80970 bytes).

You now have a choice of SD/DOS or SD/WIN.  SD/WIN operates
in Console Mode (character-based) in any version of Windows.

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

This contest is for EU to EU QSOs only.  QSOs outside EU
don't count.

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

 Mixed CW/SSB, high (max 1500w) or low power (max 100w)
 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 changes).

Note that DX cluster or spotting nets are NOT permitted in any
category!

Exchange:
  RS(T) + 2 digit number representing the year you
