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
