[SD-User] QSO Parties this Weekend

[Paul O'Kane]

The following QSO parties take place this weekend,
5/6 May.

   7th Call area QSO Party
   Indiana QSO Party
   New England QSO Party.

You'll see a summary of rules and times at
www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/weeklycont.php

SD supports these events individually, with correct
points amd multipliers, and collectively - with
basic logging (no points or mult tracking) but
with a single log that can be sent to all three
organisers without editing - they will each score
your log according to their own rules.

If you're in one of the three areas, use the
appropriate custom template

    "7QP - Area 7"
    "Indiana QP - IN"
    "New England QP - NE"

Otherwise, use the new template
    "Gen, No Serl, Mix"

Send 59(9) (why?) + your country prefix.
Log various combinations of State and County
abbreviations - for example IDBAN - Bannock
county in Idaho.  No serials are exchanged.

If you're outside North America, don't call any
North American stations who are giving only their
state or province - they can't work you for points.

See www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/weeklycont.php
for email addresses for your Cabrillo log.
Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.
