on SSB and CW, and single-ops may choose between single-band and all-
band categories.  MO is all-band mixed only.  Full rules at

______________________________

You can work everybody, but only HA stations count for
multipliers (and extra points).

Send/Receive 59(9) + serial, except that HA Stations send
59(9) + 2-character county code OR their HADXC membership
number (up to 3 digits).

After the contest, use SDCHECK to prepare your .LOG file in
Cabrillo format.  The rules for 2004 stated that Cabrillo
logs were not acceptable.  However, with SD, and most other
contest loggers, that's your only option these days.

Email your log, as an attached file, to contest at enternet.hu.
