[SD-User] ARI Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

SD supports the ARI contest which takes place from 20:00 UTC
Saturday 7th May to 19:59 UTC Sunday 8th May.

It's a worldwide competition - you can work everyone, not just
Italian stations, on the 6 bands from 160 - 10m.  Single-op entries
may be SSB, CW, RTTY or Mixed.  SD does not support RTTY in mixed-
mode entries.
