The CQ Manchester Maneira DX Contest runs from 1200z on
Saturday 20th to 2359z on Sunday 21st. It is CW-only on
5 HF contest bands from 80-10m. There will be lots of
activity from South America.
Rules at www.powerline.com.br/cwjf/Regulamento_Ing.pdf
SD V17.01 is free and unrestricted in CQMM (and in RSGB
HF contests). There is no need to register or have an
up-to-date key file. You can get SD directly from
www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe
Select the "CQMM DX" template.
Be careful not to select any of the CQ WW options.
Enter your exchange (continent) on SD's opening
screen
Work everyone. Exchange continents - for example
EU or SA. CWJF members add "M" (I'm a member!)
QRP entrants add "Q", YLs add "Y", and multi-ops
add "G".
Mults are SA prefixes, by band - and DXCC countries,
once only.
** BEFORE running SDCHECK, you must download the
latest template files from www.ei5di.com/sd/template.zip
otherwise your Cabrillo QSO records will be incomplete.
Use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo log, and send it
to cwjf at cqmmdx dot com
Please mention SD in your soapbox comments, as this
encourages others to try it.
