[UK-CONTEST] SD for the Canada Day Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

The RAC Canada Day Contest takes place from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC on
Friday 1st July. Rules at www.rac.ca/downloads/canadadayrules2005.pdf

SD supports this contest on the 6 HF contest bands from 160 - 10m,
but not on 6m and 2m. SD runs on any Windows PC and is freeware from
www.ei5di.com.

One correction is needed to CANADA.MLT supplied with SD.  The code
for Yukon is YT, not YU.

Select SD Type 10 - General, Country & Area Multipliers.
   (Note:  There are Canadian multipliers only, but
           Type 10 allows variable points for other QSOs.)

Canadian stations with the "RAC" suffix score 20 points.  Use
the POINTS command to edit these QSOs.

After the contest, use SDCHECK Option 1 to create your
