The RoPoCo contest takes place from 0700 - 0900 UTC on Sunday
2nd April.
Rules at www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/rropoco.shtml
SD supports this contest. V12.15 runs on any Windows PC and is
free from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe.
Select SD's "RSGB RoPoCo" template.
Work other UK stations only between 3520 and 3570. Send 5NN +
postcode received from your previous QSO. Send your own
postcode for the first QSO - SD will ask you for it.
SD supports ESM (Enter Sends Message) in both Run and S&P modes.
This means the Enter key will play the appropriate CW message at
all times. Use ' (apostrophe) to switch ESM On and Off, and
` (Grave Accent - above Tab) to toggle between Run and S&P.
Whichever ESM mode you're in, SD displays what the next Enter
will send. With ESM enabled, F12 is equivalent to Enter, but
does not send any message. If you get into trouble, you can
always disable ESM with apostrophe.
After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your .LOG Cabrillo file.
Email it as an attached file, to ropoco1.logs at rsgbhfcc.org.
