country reference file from www.ei5di.com/sd/dxcc.zip
and place it in their normal SD folder. (Not necessary
if you have installed V15.33).

If you use SCP (Super Check Partial), updated files
are available from www.supercheckpartial.com

Your selected SCP file must be named MASTER.DTA in
your C:\SD folder.  Otherwise, SD will not see it.

W/VE entrants work DX only, send state/province. Mults
are DXCC countries by band.

DX entrants work W/VE only, send power.  Mults are
W/VE states and provinces by band (63).

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo
log, and send it to DXCW at arrl.org.

Please mention SD in your soapbox comments, as this
encourages others to try it.
