The CW leg of the EU Sprint takes place from 16:00 UTC to
19:59 UTC on Saturday 14th April.

Rules at http://www.eusprint.com/index.php?page=140&lang=g

SD supports this contest.  V13.15 runs on any Windows PC
and is free from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe.

   Select SD's "EU Sprint" template.
   Enter the Mode as CW, and your Name for the exchange.

UK entrants work everyone on 20, 40 and 80m.

Exchange Serial & Name & both callsigns.  SD lets you enter
the Serial and Name in a single field. For example:  2FRED
will be logged as 002 FRED.

If you load a .LST callsign/name file with the LOAD command,
SD autofills the Name on a callsign match. If it's not right,
just overtype with the correct name.  Names are autofilled
when you've already logged that station on another band.

SD supports ESM (Enter Sends Message) in the Sprint - in
both Run & S&P modes. The correct exchange, depending on
the mode, is hard-coded so that you don't need to change
the F2 memory.

Your mode (Run/S&P) is displayed at all times, together
with what the next Enter will send.  If it's not appropriate,
or you get into trouble, just switch ESM Off with Apostrophe.
SD toggles the Run/S&P mode after each QSO.  If necessary,
you can change it back with Grave Accent (above Tab).

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your .LOG file.
Email it, as an attached file, to eusprint at kkn.net.
