SD directly supports this contest.  It runs on any Windows PC

For stations outside the Ukraine, it's mixed-mode only - it
pays to know CW!

B.  All Bands Mixed LP  (up to 150w)
C.  All Bands Mixed QRP (up to 5w)
D.  Single Band Mixed

All Bands - 160m to 10m (excluding WARC bands).
There's a 10-minute rule for band changes, other than
for multiplier QSOs.

After the contest, use SDCHECK (Option 1) to create your
Cabrillo format .LOG file.  Rename it to YOURCALL.LOG and
email it, as an attached file, to urdx at ham.kiev.ua within
30 days.  For the Contest Name, specify UKRAINIAN DX 2004.

You can enter in a single-band category even if you have
QSOs on other bands - leave them in your Cabrillo log, but
specify the individual band, rather than ALL, when running
SDCHECK.
