[UK-CONTEST] SD for the RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

The RSGB 1.8 MHz CW Contest takes place from 2100 UTC on Saturday
12th February to 0059 UTC on Sunday 13th February.  Full rules at
http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/r18mhz.shtml

SD directly supports this contest and is freeware from
www.ei5di.com.  SD runs on any Windows PC.

Setup for UK entrants:

Select Type 10, General - Country & Area Multipliers

.MLT File           : RSGB
.CTY File           : DXCC
Multipliers Count   : B (by band - even though it's 160m only)
Points/QSO          : 3
Pts/Bonus           : 5 (5 bonus points - no mults)
Receive Serials     : Y
Mode                : CW
Mixed Mode?         : N

Work everyone - UK and non-UK, between 1820 and 1870 kHz.
Send    : 5NN + Serial + District Code
Log     : 5NN + Serial + District Code (from UK stations)
        : 5NN + Serial (from non-UK stations)

When logging other UK stations, it's quicker to enter both
serial and district code in the one field, for example 26WA
followed by Enter - SD inserts leading zeros as appropriate.

After the contest, use SDCHECK Option 1 to create your .LOG
file in Cabrillo format.

   Contest Name    : RSGB-160
   Log Serial Sent : Y
   District Code   : Enter your 2-character code as sent
   Log Serial Rcvd : Y

Rename your Cabrillo file to YOURCALL.LOG and email it, as
an attached file, to 2nd160.logs at rsgbhfcc.org

Paul EI5DI
