SD directly supports the EU SSB Sprint. This takes place from 15:00
UTC to 18:59 UTC on Saturday 9th April. Rules at
www.eusprint.com/index.php?page=140&lang=g
V11.20 has been updated specifically for this event. In particular,
the exchange data entry is simpler. For stations not already worked,
you can enter Serial and Name in a single field - followed by Enter
to log the QSO.
For example, 5FRED becomes 005 FRED - split between the Serial and Name
fields. If you prefer, you may enter them separately as before.
If you've already worked the station on another band, the Name is auto-
filled and the QSO is logged once you enter the Serial.
If any station gives you a number instead of an alphabetic name, you
must enter Serial and "Name" separately.
Just a reminder that, if you LOAD an LST callsign database, SD auto-
fills the Name field. This assumes that names follow callsigns in your
.LST records. If the file name is incorrect, use Esc to clear it - or
simply overtype with the correct name.
The Band Analysis has been updated to show the status for 20, 40 and
80m only - to remove clutter.
SD is freeware from www.ei5di.com, and it runs on any Windows PC. If
you just want the updated EXE file, it's at www.ei5di.com/sd/sdexe.zip
