Special Event Stations with ES100 prefix were activated from Estonia to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Estonian Republic (on 24.02.2018). The activity period for 15 different call-signs was from February 1st till March 31st 2018. During these 2 months an excellent amount of 162 thousand QSO-s were made by the ES100 stations on all HF bands! Please now download your awards, order the wooden plaques and give us a notice if your want a paper QSL via the bureau! All this can be done via the special web-page at:
http://es100.erau.ee/ (TNX ES1TU!)
All the QSO-s were also uploaded to LoTW.
Many thanks to everybody for the super activity!

You can either upload your log via the special web-application (see the link below) or send it via e-mail (see the rules!). NB! Those who operated on several bands, must separate your multi-band log to single band logs (separate files) and upload the band logs separately - the application will not accept one multi-band log! Yet, you can always send your multi-band log to the contest's e-mail address (see the rules!).

ERAU VHF Committee
The ERAU VHF Committee recommends to use N1MMLogger+ for the Baltic Open VUSHF Contest. This program matches the changed rules of the contest in the best way and is a proven software for both, HF and VHF use. We have created a new udc-file for this contest, that can be downloaded from here!
Please unpack the zip-file and copy the udc-file into the UserDefinedContests folder of the N1MMLogger. Start a new contest in N1MM and choose the right abbreviation from the list, i.e. VHF-BC-CO. You must also change the locator in the Sent Exchange field in the Contest Setup dialog box - currently the locator is written as LOCATOR, replace it with your own 6-digit locator! Of course it is also essential to fill correctly in the data in the "Change your station data" dialog box, so that N1MM correctly uses your call-sign and knows your locator. If you have completed the above given steps, N1MM should correctly handle the serial numbers on each band and calculate the points according to the points/km value.
If you have used the Lithuanian CGLog2 programme earlier and do not want to switch to a new software, then just choose LY VUSHF Contest from the list and it also should work!
DXLog programme is also among the choices - check the ES/LY/YL VUSHF Contest in the LOCAL CONTESTS section in the list and you'll find what you need!
Good luck in the Baltic VUSHF Contest!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
