The UBA CW Contest takes place from 1300 UTC on Saturday 26th
February to 1259 UTC Sunday 27th February. Full rules at
http://www.uba.be/hf_contests/rules/ubatestworld_en.html
SD does NOT support this contest. You should use SDU which is
dedicated to the UBA Contest. It is freeware from www.ei5di.com,
it runs on any Windows PC, and it supports WinKey. Please use
the latest version (11.13) - as otherwise the internal keyer will
not send your serial.
The UBA organising committee recommends SDU - "We strongly encourage
participants to use a freeware log software as SDU from EI5DI... "
DX entrants (outside ON) - Select SDU Type 2
The contest is CW only, on the 5 bands from 80m to 10m
QSOs with Belgian stations score 10 points,
with EU Member State stations 3 points
other stations 1 point
Work everyone, and exchange 5NN and Serial. ON stations will also
give their province abbreviation. SDU lets you log serial and
province in a single field, for example 003WV (you can leave out
the leading zeros). If you prefer, you can log the two fields
separately.
Multipliers are Belgian provinces, Belgian prefixes, and DXCC
countries in the European Union. A single QSO with a Belgian
station may count as two multipliers.
Although the rules specify ADIF files, it seems the organisers
will accept Cabrillo logs - use SDCHECK Option 1 for this.
Rename your file to YOURCALL.LOG and email it, as an attached
files, to ubacw at uba.be.
