Also please remember this IARU rule:

4.1.3. Use of spotting nets, packet, or multi-channel decoders (such as CW Skimmer) is not permitted. Single-operator stations that use spotting nets, packet or multi-channel decoders will be reclassified to the Multi-operator, Single Transmitter category.

And good luck to all!

Just passing this info along to get ready for IARU.

BULLETINS

Jim AD1C reports that the Country (CTY) Files used by many logging programs were updated on 01 July 2010. These are particularly important during IARU HF because of the use of ITU Zones (not CQ Zones). He request, "Please test this BEFORE the IARU Contest starts. I don't have all the different logging programs to check for errors. "
