[RttyDigital] New ARRL International Digital Contest in June

[David Tanks]

  Here is what Joe K1JT recommends to use for this new contest. Of course, N1MM can be used in conjunction with WSJTX to show dupes, etc.

Oh, you haven't heard about this new contest?

https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/Digital-Rules.pdf

June 4 2 pm to June 5 8 pm. NO RTTY; only FT8/FT4, PSK31, etc. QRP or Low Power, no High Power category. There are overlays for Single Ops to choose from: " All Enclosed Antennas (indoor antennas) " ; " Limited Time (maximum of 8 hours) "; and " All Enclosed Antennas and Limited Time ". The exchange is four-digit grid square (sound familiar?). Work a station once per band, regardless of mode (means once you work him on FT8 you can't switch to FT4 or other and work him again on that same band).

With WSJT-X I recommend using "NA VHF" for the contest setting.  The "WW

Digi" setting will also work, but it will set your CQ message to "CQ WW"

rather than "CQ TEST".

A future version of WSJT-X will have a specific entry for this new

contest, and some related features, but unfortunately not in time to be

used in this year's contest.
