XIII. LOG INSTRUCTIONS:
* All times must be in UTC. All sent and received exchanges are to be
logged.
* The Contest Committee accepts logs in the Cabrillo format ONLY.
Name your Cabrillo file as your callsign (for example - gm4agg.cbr

* You may send your log via e-mail to ukdxc@scotham.net Be sure to
put the station callsign and your category in the "Subject" line of
the message (for example - GM4AGG MOST). Your software may
automatically encode your log as an attachment.
* You may send your log by post to UK DX RTTY Contest Committee, P.O.
Box 7469, Glasgow, G42 0YD, Scotland, U.K. Please send an IBM,
MS-DOS compatible computer disk containing your Cabrillo file.
Label your disk clearly with your callsign and your category. Name
your disk file as your callsign.

rules and regulations for amateur radio in the country of operation

* All entries must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the

standard entry log file for the UK DX RTTY Contest. Remember that
the log file must be in CBR or LOG format.
XIV. DISQUALIFICATION:
* Violation of amateur radio regulations in the country of the
contestant, or the rules of the contest; unsportsmanlike conduct;
taking credit for excessive unverifiable contacts or unverifiable
multipliers will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification.
* Incorrectly logged calls or numbers will be counted as unverifiable
contacts for culprit only.
* The use by an entrant of any non-amateur means such as telephones,
telegrams, internet, or the use of packet to solicit contacts
during the contest is unsportsmanlike and the entry is subject to
disqualification.
* Actions and decisions of the UK DX RTTY Contest Committee are
official and final.
XV. UK AREAS LIST:
* Care must be taken in the interpretation of UK Areas from
small-scale maps.
* The addresses of British Stations given in RSGB and International
Callbooks can be misleading.
* The postal address system tends to use old county names that no
longer exist, and old boundaries of existing counties from before
all, or some, of the reorganizations of the administrative systems.
* The UK Postal Codes are not acceptable for the UK DX RTTY Contest.
* Administrative geography concerns itself with the hierarchy of
areas relating to national and local government in the UK. This
hierarchy is complicated for not only are there several layers but
the structure is different in each constituent Country of the UK.
In addition the boundaries of many of the layers in the hierarchy
are subject to periodic or occasional change.
* Use this link http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/admin_geog.asp
to find out more about the Administrative Geography of the UK in
general, or a specific UK Country of your choice.
* Use this PDF file http://www.ukdx.srars.org/ukdxmap.pdf to view a
map of all UK local authorities.
* The two letter abbreviations are given to UK Areas by the UK DX
RTTY Contest Committe. These are used along with the full name in
the list. Use this PDF file http://www.ukdx.srars.org/ukdxclist.pdf
as a standard UK Areas List for the UK DX RTTY Contest. There are
170 current entities in the list.
