[UK-CONTEST] Question on Cumalatives - and SDV

[DAVID BUTLER]

Yes - you will do better if you mix & match across all 4 bands.

I worked 5-stations on all bands, 50/70/144/432MHz.  This was good for picking 
up multipliers especially on 432MHz.

SDV worked well although it couldn't automatically cope with 4 separate 
transceivers.
As long as you remembered to manually change bands ie typing in 50M, 70M, 144M, 
432M it worked ok and kept track of the correct serial number for each band. 

Unfortunately SDV - unlike SD - does not allow you to do on the fly correction 
of band status if you forget to do it.
You have to close SDV, open up SDV-Check and fiddle about changing the band 
parameter manually then saving it, then opening SDV again.
Or keep a note on a scrap of paper of the (sent) serial number relating to the 
band that you cocked up on.

Fortunately I made the mistake two QSOs from the end of the contest so the bit 
of paper worked out ok. 

I wonder if Paul EI5DI could correct this issue in SDV sometime.

in the Cumulatives starting today - can you work any band at any time across the 
3 days? Can I mix and match each day?  As long as I start a new serial number 
each band and day? Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year with good DX 73 de
