Some notes from the contest manager:

"Contest rules for the DAC are based on those of the NAC (Nordic Activity Contest)"

"Score calculation: For the DAC, this is the sum of the number of miles worked + 500 bonus points for each unique locatorsquare worked (e.g. JO21, IO91)."

"QSO input fields: For the DAC, NAC you only need to exchange Callsigns, RST and Locator. However, we work quite a lot of English stations from the Netherlands and there is an exchange of serial numbers. So in the logging program we also have to write down the serial numbers. In the Sent serial field you simply number each QSO with 1, starting with 001. At UK stations you pronounce this number, but at other stations you do not. Vice versa in the Received serial field at UK stations write down the given serial number at the other stations always 001. Any serial numbers in the log we ignore in the contestrobot when it comes to the DAC."

I will not support the serial number for the DAC. If you need a serial number, use another contest template.

No problem! I agree! For me it feels like combining two contests (DAC and UK contest). So leaving the serial number out is fine!

Thanks for your ongoing support for your excellent RumLogNG software.

I think I asked on this a couple of years ago but too soon to the contest date.

Would you please consider adding support for the annual US Minnesota QSO Party. It occurs each February and complete rules may be found at https://www.w0aa.org/wp-content/docs/mn ... _Rules.pdf

Thanks!

Chris, N0UK, G4JEC
