The WAE DX Contest takes place from 00:00 UTC on Saturday
12th to 23:59 UTC on Sunday 13th August.  It's a CW-only
event on the 5 contest bands from 10 to 80m.

Rules at http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/xedcwr.htm

SD supports this event. V13.07 runs on any Windows PC and
is free from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe.

DX entrants, outside EU, should get an updated SD.EXE from
www.ei5di.com/sd/sdexe.zip, as it has some improvements for
QTCs. 

    Select SD's "WAE" template

Europeans work non-Europeans and vice-versa.  SD displays
inappropriate callsigns or prefixes in red.

Your score shown, while logging, reflects the correct
weighting for multipliers on each band.

SD supports QTCs for both sides of this contest. To see how
it all works, set up a WAE test file, log a few QSOs and
then enter the QTC command in the callsign field.

Note:  If, for example, W3LPL sends a QTC as 0905 DL1AA 215,
you can log this, in SD, as 0905DL1AA215, followed by Enter.
This is faster and simpler than entering the fields separately,
but you may do that if you prefer.

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo-format
.LOG entry file. If you log/send QTCs, SD generates an
additional .QTC file.  Email them, as attached files,
to waedc at dxhf.darc.de.
