SD
sets the standard for fast, simple logging and editing in the
major international contests and in dozens of others
worldwide. It is intended for single-op unassisted entries, on
both SSB and CW.
SD runs on all versions of Windows, from Win95 to Win7,
with a character-based display.
SD
is free and unrestricted in the following
contests. No need to register - just
download and away you go!

In all other contests, logging is delayed
after 10 QSOs if you're not registered.
SD
is shareware, (try it before you buy it),
with registration options starting at 10 euros.
When you register, you get a key file by email.
The key file, SD.KEY, will never expire, and it
activates V17.04. If you choose the 12-month
registration option, your key file will activate
any later version downloaded within the next 12
months. Any version that works with your key file
will keep working, with no time restrictions, when
used with your registered callsign in the presence
of the key file.
SD
supports rig control, serial and parallel keying - and integrates
with WinKey to
eliminate CW timing issues caused by Windows.
microHAM's USB CW
Keyer offers WinKey and level converters for rig control in a
single package.
SD
offers instant "full-screen" editing of any QSO in
your log. All SD's files, including the log, are standard ASCII
text files and can be viewed with any text editor.
Following any QSO edit, no matter how complex, SD checks
your complete log for consistency, and instantly updates
all relevant QSOs.
This includes setting and unsetting dupe and multiplier
flags, and updating area codes (zones), and points, in
all QSOs as required. The information shown in the
Summary Score window is correct at all times. Just try
this on any other contest logger - and see the
difference for yourself.
SD
is the only contest logger to offer the following
features, in real-time, as you type individual
callsign characters. There's no need to touch another
key or memorise Ctrl-This or Alt-That.
Dupe checking
Country/Band analysis
Check Partial by prefix
Beam headings
Advance flagging of potential multipliers
Band/Mode analysis by callsign
Linked database display
Auto data insert (Zones and area codes)

SD
Until 2010, SDC was a custom logger for
the RSGB Commonwealth Contest. SD now offers
all SDC's features in this event.

IOTA Contest
SD
is recommended in the RSGB's
IOTA Contest Rules, and was the
only logger dedicated to this contest.
For the first fourteen years of the IOTA contest, from
1993 to 2006 inclusive, SD was the leading logger. Here are
the recent
stats.
SD
supports the IOTA contest directly, and includes
all the custom features that make it so efficient compared
to all other IOTA loggers.
To do well in IOTA, you must work island stations
because they're worth many times more than other QSOs.
SD
sets the standard for instantly showing your band/mode
status for island stations, for highlighting multiplier slots,
and for ease of data entry of island references.
Other loggers can't do this! IOTA is special,
it needs the special features that only SD offers.
SD
identifies
country and call-area, as you type individual
callsign letters, and
give you a real-time analysis of IOTA islands (if any)
worked and wanted for that country or call-area - for the
current band and mode. When the country is an IOTA island
with a single reference, SD auto-fills the reference.
SD
gives you a worked/wanted analysis for all bands and
modes when you type an IOTA reference in the callsign
field - there's no need to touch another key or remember
function keys or multiple keystrokes.
SD
supports DXpedition and Special Event logging,
on CW and SSB, on all 10 bands from 6 to 160 metres.

VHF Contests
SDV
(SD for VHF) is free. No other contest logger
correctly tracks district, country and locator
square multipliers in RSGB and other VHF contests in the
UK and Ireland.
SDV
has been updated (December 2010) to support the
new rules for RSGB VHF contests with square multipliers -
they count only for QSOs with UK stations.
