The LZ DX Contest takes place from 1200 UTC on Saturday 20th
November to 1159 UTC on Sunday 21st November.  Full rules at
http://www.qsl.net/lz1fw/contest/

SD directly supports this contest.  V11.06 is freeware from
www.ei5di.com, and it runs on any Windows PC.

SD Setup:

Select Type 3 - IARU HF, also LZ and YU
IARU LZ YU       : L
Mode             : CW or SSB (your initial mode)
Mixed-Mode       : Y/N (your choice)

Work everyone, on the 5 contest bands from 80m to 10m.
Exchange RS(T) and ITU Zone.  LZ stations send their
2-digit district code instead of Zone.

SD scores your QSOs as
 Own continent     1
 Other continents  3 
 LZ               10

I've tested the Cabrillo option from SDCHECK for this
contest, and there are a couple of bugs.  I'll upload a
corrected version next week - you have 30 days to submit
the log.

If you don't want to wait, here's what you have to do.

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

     Grid Square    :   Enter XXXX (not used)
     Contest Name   :   LZ DX CONTEST 2004
     HQ Station     :   N (not used)

Insert 59/599, as appropriate in each QSO: record before
your Zone (27) - leave a space between them. Column spacing
is not critical, but columns must be aligned vertically.

Rename your Cabrillo files as YOURCALL.LOG and email it, as
an attached file, to lzdxc@yahoo.com.

73,
Paul EI5DI
