SD V16.13 supports this event - www.ei5di.com
W/VE entrants - select the "ARRL SSB DX, W/VE" template.
All others - select the "ARRL SSB DX, DX" template.
Please take care not to select the ARRL 10m or ARRL 160m
templates.
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). When logging
the W/VE state or province, SD lets you enter anything
relevant and it will log the standard 2-character code
(if you're not familiar with them). For example, enter
F (on its own) for Florida - or B (on its own) for British
Columbia. KE or KEN is logged as KY (Kentucky).
After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo
log, and send it to dxphone at arrl.org. Please mention
SD in your soapbox comments.
