[UK-CONTEST] Oceania DX Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

The Oceania DX SSB contest takes place from 0800 UTC Saturday 2nd October
to 0759 UTC Sunday 3rd October.

SD supports this contest directly - full rules at
http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/Update/Contests/Oceania/2004_oceania_rules.pdf

SD is freeware from www.ei5di.com - it runs on any Windows PC.

Select SD Type 6, General - Prefix Multipliers
Mode             : SSB
WPX/Oceania/Asia : O

Exchange 59 + Serial.  UK stations work Oceania only.  If you're not
sure what's OK to work and what's not, don't worry - because SD shows
inappropriate callsigns in red as you enter prefixes.  You can use
Esc to quickly clear them.

It's an all-band contest, from 10 to 160m, and SD scores QSOs as 20
points on 160m, 10 on 80m, 5 on 40m, 1 on 20m, 2 on 15m and 3 on 10m.

After the contest, use SDCHECK, Option 1, to create your .LOG file
in Cabrillo format.  Rename it with the call you used for the
contest, and email it as an attached file to ph at oceaniadxcontest.com.
