SD Setup for the 2nd RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest 2003

__________________________________________
UK Entrants
SD Type 10, General - Country & Area Multipliers
.MLT File : RSGB
.CTY File : RSGB
Multipliers Count : B (by band. Yes, I know
it's 160m only)
Points/QSO : 3
Pts/Bonus : 5
Receive Serials : Y

Mixed Mode? : N
Work everyone - UK and non-UK.
Send : 599 + Serial + District Code
Receive : 599 + Serial + District Code (from UK stations)
: 599 + Serial (from non-UK stations)
SD lets you record additional data sent by non-UK stations,
as required by the HFCC General Rules for HF contests.
However, there's no point in doing so because any such
data is not cross-checked.
NOTE: The rules for this contest specify a bonus of 5
points for each new "country", but do not indicate the
DXCC list or the RSGB list - with country credit for
call-areas in various countries such as W and VE. The
only reference to countries in the General Rules is in
the context of multipliers. In the 1.8 MHz contest,
bonuses are an alternative to multipliers and I have
assumed that the RSGB country list applies. Please let
me know if this is not correct.
