This is a 4-hour event from 2100z Saturday 16th
November.  It is CW-only on 160m.

Rules at
http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2013/r2nd-160m-2013.shtml

SD V17.20 is free from
http://www.ei5di.com

   Select the "RSGB 1.8 November" option and, for UK
   entrants only, enter your district code on the
   opening screen.

UK and EU stations work everyone.  Entrants outside
EU work UK and EU only.

Exchange Serials. UK stations add their 2-character
district code.  If you use V17.20, you can enter
serial and district code as a single field (no
space needed between fields).  Note: UK stations
should edit SD's F2 exchange message (using Shift-F2)
to include the district code.

2 points per QSO, and 5 bonus points for the first
QSO with each UK district and for the first QSO
with each non-UK country.

The Austrian 160m contest overlaps with this event.
OE stations send a serial and their own 2-character
district code.  When working non-UK stations, SD
logs the QSO after the serial.  If you feel obliged
to log OE district codes, press Tab (not Enter) after
the serial.  If you forget and the QSO is logged too
soon, use Up Arrow to edit the logged QSO - tab across
to the district code field.

Please practice before the contest.  OE districts
do not score bonus points.

Upload your Cabrillo log from SDCHECK at

Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.
