For SD to calculate distance, and points, correctly,
you need to edit the SD-LCTR parameter in SDCONFIG.TXT
to the correct value for your location.  Otherwise it
will be the default for your country, as derived from
the co-ordinates in DXCC.CTY, and that can lead to big
errors in big countries!

Select SD Type 11
Points per QSO       : 1 (SD will calculate points)
Contest Type         : L (Locators)
CW or SSB            : CW
Mixed-Mode           : N

If you're not using rig control, don't forget to change
band to 160m - with the commands B160 or 160M

I haven't checked the Cabrillo log for this event recently.
Please let me know if you have any problems with acceptance
by the robot, and I'll make whatever changes are required.

73,
Paul EI5DI
