[SD-User] LZ Open Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

The LZ Open Contest takes place from 00:00 to 05:59 UTC
on Saturday 17th January.  It is CW-only on 40 & 80m.

Rules at www.linkove.com/lz-open-contest/rules/rules.htm
SD is the preferred logger.  V14.17 runs on Windows or
Linux/Wine and is free from www.ei5di.com.

  Select the "LZ Open" template.

Work everyone.

Exchange Serial + Serial Received from the previous QSO.
For you first QSO send 001 000.  There is no RST.  When
entering serials, separate them with space or /.

There's no need to enter leading zeros.   For example,
5/32 is logged as 005 032, and 005 is used by SD's keyer
in your exchange for the next QSO.

Dupes are a function of time only, regardless of band.  A 
dupe is any QSO with a particular station within 30 minutes
of the previous QSO.  You may work each station every 30
minutes or so throughout the contest.  SD displays an
individual countdown timer for every callsign, and highlights
those that have recently become available to work again.

Before the contest, update SD's F2 CW memory (the exchange),
with Shift-F2, to remove the #R (RST) parameter.

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo .LOG
file. Email it, as an attached file, to LZ1GL at yahoo.com.

Please mention SD in your Cabrillo soapbox comments.  This
encourages others to try it.
