[SD-User] SD V22.28 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V22.28   18 December 2025

MCD - Marconi Club QSO Party Day.
     Scheduled for Saturday 3rd January.
www.marconiclub.it/articoli/182-marconi-club-qso-party-day-edition-2028

     Fixed broken code (from V22.21) which prevented SD's QSO Rate
     window from working - for this event only.

     Added a separate template option to support entries from non-
     members of the Marconi Club - who send serials instead of
     membership number.

     Updated call-history file MCD.LST and SCP file MCD.DTA
     according to the list at www.marconiclub.it/MAR-CLUB.pdf,
     with silent keys omitted.


V22.27   12 December 2025

CQWW Contest:
     Own-country QSOs that are Zone mults now count as such.
     Thanks NQ2W.

     Fixed the default CQ Zone for VE3 - it's 4.

QSO Rate Window:
     Fixed the "Best" count of QSOs logged in a single minute.
     It had been reset when reloading a log.

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" during the
installation process.  Otherwise you may have to resize SD's
window, and set other parameters as described in GETTING
STARTED on page 3 of the manual SD.PDF.

In any case, these parameters should be set for Windows 11
if SD's colours do not look like this -

Before all CW contests, check your Function Key message
contents and edit the parameters as necessary - they are
NOT updated automatically for each contest.

Use Shift_F1, F2 as appropriate to edit the parameters.

If you find bugs in V22.28, report them to sd-user (at)
contesting.com

Please send your suggestions, comments, or questions to
sd-user (at) contesting.com - not to me directly.

Thanks & 73,
