The RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest takes place on Saturday 19th
November. It is CW-only on 160m.

Rules at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2011/r2nd-160m-2011.shtml

Points per QSO is now 2 (it was 3), also non-UK stations
in Europe work everyone - they can work one another, not
just UK stations.

SD V15.55 supports the updated rules.  It is not free.

    UK Entrants - select the "RSGB 1.8 Nov UK" template.
    All others  - select the "RSGB 1.8 Nov DX" template.

Please be careful not to select any other RSGB 1.8
templates.

Exchange Serials.  UK stations add their 2-character
district code - edit SD's F2 exchange message (using
Shift-F2) to include yours, if appropriate.

When logging UK stations, enter the serial and district
in a single field.  For example: 26WA, followed by Enter,
expands to 026 and WA in their respective fields.

SD pre-fills the district code when you load a callsign
reference file (.LST) with district codes.  For example -
GM3POI KW
G5LP NN

When logging OE (Austrian) stations giving their own
district code, tab to this field after entering their
serial - otherwise SD will log the QSO without the
district code.

Please practice with test files before the contest.

Submit your log online at www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl
