[WT-support] RSGB NFD CW.....?

[Douglas Maxwell]

Hi Win-Test team,
    Firstly, thanks to Nigel for bringing up this problem and thanks to the
Win-Test team for such a great product.

Win-Test 'IARU field day RSGB Rgn1' is currently set up to score for the
RSGB SSB field day contest. Deliberate scoring differences exist between the
RSGB SSB and CW field day contests.

SSB field day
Fixed stations in IARU Region 1: 2 points
Stations outside IARU Region 1: 3 points
/P or /M stations in IARU Region 1: 5 points.
IARU Region 1 countries include those in Europe, Africa, USSR, ITU Zone 39
and Mongolia.
Multiplier: One for each DXCC Country worked on each band.

CW field day
"Fixed stations in Europe (including UK) 2 points. Fixed stations outside
Europe 3 points. Portable and Mobile stations in Europe (including UK) 4
points. Portable and Mobile stations outside Europe 6 points. Contacts on
1.8MHz and 28MHz should be scored as above and then multiplied by two"
No country multiplier.

Could this difference in scoring be implemented when choosing either CW or
SSB in the initial set up screen?

Thanks for a great product.

Doug GM0ELP aka GM3PXK/P
