[SD-User] RSGB 1.8MHz Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

It takes place, tomorrow, Saturday 8th February - from 2000-2359z 
inclusive.  Categories include CW-only, SSB-only, and Mixed-CW/SSB.

It's an everyone-works-everyone event on 160m only.
UK stations send Serial and UK District Code - others send Serial only.

Rules at https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2025/r160m.shtml

I've updated SD for the new rules.  V22.18 is free from www.ei5di.com

When logging PA stations, or any others that don't send a serial, enter 
zero in the Serial field.  For non-UK stations, do not enter anything in 
the UK District Code exchange field - it's for UK QSOs only.

If you don't have rig-control, make sure to log on your chosen mode(s) 
at all times.  Change mode with the "C" or "S" commands. With 
rig-control, it's done automatically.

Take care to update (and test) your CW messages F1 to F6 before the 
contest, with Shift-FI to Shift-F6.  Suggested contents in the following 
format - substitute your call and district code as appropriate.

"Running" - F1 to F4 - spaces are significant

F1 - your CQ call - "EI5DI EI5DI TEST"
F2 - the exchange - "#C 5NN #S XX#E"     Callsign logged, 5NN, Serial 
Sent, District Code, Enter
F3 - Thanks you - "TU EI5DI #E"
F4 - Dupe message - same as F2 - it's quicker to work and log dupes.

"S&P" - F5 and F6

F5 - own Call - "EI5DI"
F6 - the exchange - "5NN #S XX #E"
