The RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest takes place from 2100 UTC Saturday
10th February to 0059 UTC Sunday 11th February. It's CW-only
on 160m.

Rules at http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/r18mhz.shtml

SD supports this contest.  V13.14 runs on any Windows PC and
is free from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe.  In the previous
event in November 2006, 35 out of 46 UK entrants used SD.

   Select SD's "RSGB 1.8, UK" template.

Work everyone.  Exchange 5NN + Serial + district code.  Non-UK
stations have no district code.  Before the contest starts,
edit SD's F2 exchange message (using Shift-F2) to include your
district code.

When logging other UK stations, you may log serial and district
in a single field.  For example: 26WA, followed by Enter, is
expanded to 026 WA in their respective fields.

New for 2007:  SD extracts and auto-fills the district code
from a callsign database where each record starts with the
callsign and ends with the district code - anything in-between
is ignored.  If it's what you hear, Enter to log it, otherwise
overtype with the correct code.

After the contest, use SDCHECK Option 1 to create your .LOG
file in Cabrillo format.

   Contest Name    : RSGB-160
   Log Serial Sent : Y
   District Code   : UK - Enter your 2-character code as sent.
                   : Non-UK - leave blank
   Log Serial Rcvd : Y

Rename your Cabrillo file to YOURCALL.LOG and email it, as
an attached file, to 1st160.logs at rsgbhfcc.org
