2006 YU DX Contest
Using Popular Contest Programs
Most of the
popular contest programs now support YU DX Contest!
If your favourite
program does not, please consider suggestions listed below.
Settings
Please select "IARU HF World
Championship".
YU DX Contest rules are very
similar to those of the IARU contest.
However, Yugoslav prefixes
will not be counted as multipliers,
and QSO points will be slightly
off.
To keep track of Yugoslav prefixes,
please use this handy checklist.
Submitting the log
The simplest way is to submit
your log in the Cabrillo format.
That way you will not have
to worry about QSO points, dupes, multiplier checklists, etc.
Log checker will do the work
for you.
As explained above, your claimed
score will not be correct,
but that shouldn't bother
you, because the log will be immediately input
to our software producing
the Preliminary Results page.
If your program does not support
Cabrillo output format,
please submit your log in
ASCII text format, as explained in rules.
Or simply use the free
YU DX Contest Software
You may also consider using
the free
YU DX Contest program kindly
provided by S56A. This program
will process multipliers and QSO points correctly.
It also provides a real time
display of multipliers worked,
and inserts the correct claimed
score into the Cabrillo file automatically.
