[SD-User] FOC QSO Party

[Paul O'Kane]

The FOC QSO Party takes place on Saturday 23rd March -
all day, 0000 - 2359.  It is CW-only on the 6 HF contest
bands.

Rules at http://g4foc.org/qso-party

This is a QSO Party, and not a contest. Everyone
is welcome - whether members and non-members, and
there's no need to send in a log.  Simply report
your QSO totals shown in SD's Score Window.

SD V17.00 is free and unrestricted for use in the
FOC QSO Party - from www.ei5di.com or direct from
www.ei5di.cm/sd/sdsetup.exe

  Select the "FOC QSO Party" template.

FOC members work everyone. Others work FOC members
only - the ones giving a number as well as their
name.  Call CQBW - the BW stands for Bill Windle,
after whom this event used to be named.

SD prefills the exchange (Name & FOC Number) when
a member's call is typed, and tracks members and
non-members by band.

If you hear and type a membership number (instead
of a callsign), SD displays the callsign and name,
and dupe-checks the QSO.  If it's not a dupe, Enter
moves the call to the callsign field and, again,
prefills the exchange.

When using SD to send exchanges, whether directly
or with WinKey, use Shift-F2 to update SD's exchange
with your Name, or Name and Number as appropriate.

Send a brief note to kz5d at aol.com with your QSO
totals - Members and Non-members by band.  Again,
they are shown in SD's Score Window.
