.CTY File           : RSGB
Multipliers Count   : B (by band.  Yes, I know
                         it's 160m only)

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.
