The RAC Canada Winter Contest takes place from 0000-2359 GMT
on Saturday 19th December.  There are sections for CW, SSB,
Mixed-mode, Single-Band and All-Band on the 8 contest bands
from 160m to 2m - with HP, LP and QRP options.  There is no
SO Assisted section.  If you use packet you must enter as
multi-op.

SD supports SO entries in this event, but not on 2m or 6m.
V14.29 is free from www.ei5di.com.

  Select the "RAC Winter Contest" template.

Work everyone, but only VE stations count for multipliers (13)
and 5 times as many points.  VE stations with an RAC suffix
score 20 points.

Canadians exchange their 2-character province.  All others
send a serial.

encourages others to try it.
