[SD-User] Programme Update

[Paul O'Kane]

I'd recommend using the latest version of SD (21.36a), freely available 
from www.ei5di.com.  Installation replaces any older version, but leaves 
existing logs unchanged, though they can still be opened and updated.

Rules for the RSGB Club Calls 160m Contest (this weekend) are at 
https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2020/rclubcalls.shtml

SD directly supports this contest - select the "RSGB Club Calls" option.

If you need to change the dimensions of SD's window to suit your screen, 
follow the instructions in GETTING STARTED on page 3 of the manual 
SD.PDF (included).  If you're not equipped for rig control, use the 
commands SSB or CW, in the Callsign field, to change mode.

Log the Club Status (HQ, CM, or NC), followed by the 4-character Club 
Abbreviation (when present), as a single 2 or 6-character field without 
a space - for example, HQRSGB.  This will be shown as "HQ  RSGB" in SD's 
Cabrillo QSO records.  Practice logging on a test log before the contest.

Note: SD logs all Club Calls reports, sent or received, as 59(9). If 
necessary, edit your Cabrillo QSO records before upload - to
