European FT8 Club Contest

Just found out in the ARRL letter for 11 April 2019 that there is a FT8 contest between 1200U on 13 April and 1200U on 14 April 2019.

Full information can be found at the FT8 Club

Note that the maximum power is 100 watts and that the WARC bands are NOT being used for this contest.

On your WSJT-X program, find Preferences, then the ADVANCED tab, check the box marked ARRL RTTY Roundup and finally set the RTTY RU Exch to DX if you are outside of the USA or Canada.  That will sort out all the necessary requirements for the contest.

Don't forget to uncheck the ARRL RTTY Roundup box once the contest is over.

Good luck.
