The WAE DX Contest takes place from 00:00 UTC on Saturday
13th to 23:59 UTC on Sunday 14th September. It is SSB-only
on the 5 contest bands from 10 - 80m, with LP (100w)
and HP sections for SO.
Rules at http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/xedcwr.htm
SD supports SO entries. V14.09 runs on Windows PCs
and is free from www.ei5di.com.
Select the "WAE" template
Work non-Europeans only. SD displays inappropriate
callsigns or prefixes in red. If they're not red,
they're OK to work for points.
Your score shown, while logging, reflects the correct
weighting for multipliers on each band.
SD supports QTCs. To see how they work, try a WAE
test file, log a few QSOs and then enter the QTC
command in the callsign field.
You have to log the Time, Callsign and Serial for
each QTC. The easiest way to do this is to type it
all in one field with no spaces - and Enter when
you've finished.
If you receive a QTC as 0905 9A1AA 015, type it
as 09059A1AA15, followed by Enter. This is faster
and simpler than entering the fields separately,
but you can still do it that way if you prefer.
If you make a mistake, you can use the arrow keys
and Tab to make corrections.
You can log up to 10 QTCs from each DX station,
but they don't have to logged all at once. As
you type callsigns on the logging line, SD shows
how many QTCs you have left to log from that
station. Each QSO and each QTC scores 1 point.
Use SDCHECK create your Cabrillo .LOG file. If
you log QTCs, SD generates an additional .QTC
file. Email them both, as attached files, to
waessb at dxhf.darc.de.
