SD V18.16 supports this contest - from www.ei5di.com.

    Select the "REF, DX" template (DX entrants)
               "REF, France" template (French entrants)

         and set CW as your mode.

French stations send their département number or
country prefix (Overseas Territories). All others
send a serial, and work "French" stations only -
with multipliers for départements and certain
country prefixes - as listed in SD's multiplier
window.

French stations include Mainland France, Corsica,
and French Overseas Territories. There's no need
to worry about which countries, apart from France,
you can work for points, as SD displays ineligible
calls in red.

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create a Cabrillo
log, and send it to cdfcw at ref-union dot org

Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.
