The RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest takes place from 2100 UTC Saturday
11th February to 0059 UTC Sunday 11th February.

This year, for the first time, there are separate
sections for CW, SSB and Mixed-mode.

Rules at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2011/r1st-160m-2011.shtml

SD V15.32 has been updated to support all sections.
www.ei5di.com.

    UK entrants - choose from these templates.
       RSGB 1.8 CW, UK
       RSGB 1.8 SSB, UK
       RSGB 1.8 Mixed, UK

    If you're undecided, select the Mixed option.

    Non-UK (Overseas) entrants choose from
       RSGB 1.8 CW, DX
       RSGB 1.8 SSB, DX
       RSGB 1.8 Mixed, DX

Again, choose the Mixed option if you're undecided, or
prefer to make your mind up after the contest starts.

UK entrants work everyone on 160m only.  All others
work UK only, again on 160m.  Exchange Serials.  UK
stations add their 2-character district code - and,
if using CW, should edit SD's F2 exchange message
(using Shift-F2) to include it.

3 points per QSO, and 5 extra points for the first
QSO (Mixed - on each mode) with each UK district
code and, for UK entrants only, the first QSO with
each overseas DXCC country (again, by mode).

When logging UK stations, it's easiest to enter the
serial and district in a single field.  For example:
26WA, followed by Enter, is expanded to 026 WA in
their respective fields.

SD pre-fills the district code when you load a callsign
reference file (.LST) with district codes. For example,
GM3POI KW
G5LP NN

Use SDCHECK create your Cabrillo .LOG file, and upload
it at http://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl

Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.  Everyone
reads them, and it encourages others to try SD.
