Added support - see www.ham-yota.com/contest/ _________________________ SD is free from www.ei5di.com When replacing an older version of SD , take care to "untick" the box corresponding to "Create a desktop icon".? Otherwise you may have to resize SD's window, and set other parameters described in GETTING STARTED on page 3 of the manual SD.PDF. In any case, these parameter must be set if you are running Windows 10, and SD's display is an untidy mess. Before any CW contest, check the Function Key memory playback, and edit the parameters as necessary - it's not automatic for each contest.? Use Shift-F1, F2 as appropriate to edit the parameters. If you find bugs in V21.53, report them to sd-user (at) contesting.com Send your suggestions, comments, or questions to sd-user (at) contesting.com, not to me directly. 73, Paul EI5DI From jjreisert at alum.mit.edu Mon Apr 12 13:54:03 2021 From: jjreisert at alum.mit.edu (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 11:54:03 -0600 Subject: [SD-User] CTY-3109 Country Files - 12 April 2021 Message-ID: The Country (CTY) Files were updated on 12 April 2021: https://www.country-files.com/cty-3109-12-april-2021/ For installation instructions, start at: https://www.country-files.com/ Hover your mouse over the word Contest in the menu, then select the software you are using.
