SUMMARY:SKCC Straight Key Sprint Europe (SKSE)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: Straight Key Century Club\nModes: CW\nBands: 160m\, 80
 m\, 40m\, 20m\, 15m\, 10m\, 6m\nBand note: 160 through 6 m excluding the W
 ARC bands -- SKCC names 60\, 30\, 17 and 12 m as excluded.\nDuration: 2h\n
 Exchange: RST\, QTH\, the operator's name and the SKCC number. Non-members
  send 'none' for the number.\nLogs due: 2026-09-10\nNote: SKCC PRINTS TWO 
 UTC TIMES AND THE CONTEST HAS ONE LOCAL TIME. 2000Z from November to March
  and 1900Z from April to October are both 2100 in central Europe: CET is U
 TC+1 and CEST is UTC+2. So this is not a contest that changes its hour twi
 ce a year\, it is a contest at nine in the evening that Europe's clocks mo
 ve around\, and it is recorded the way the sponsor means it -- `timezone: 
 Europe/Berlin` with wall_clock times\, exactly as the ARS Spartan Sprint i
 s recorded in New York.\n\nTHAT READING IS TESTABLE AND IT PASSES ON THE M
 ONTHS THAT DECIDE IT. Europe changes clocks on the last Sunday of March an
 d of October\, and the first Thursday of both months falls on the near sid
 e of the change: March is still CET and resolves to 2000Z\, April is CEST 
 and resolves to 1900Z\, October is still CEST at 1900Z\, November is CET a
 t 2000Z. All four match SKCC's own table\, which is what makes this one ru
 le rather than two.\n\nEncoding it as two records split by month -- winter
  and summer -- would have produced two entries with the same name and hidd
 en the reason. Encoding one UTC time would have been wrong for five months
  of the year.\n\nStraight keys\, sideswipers and bugs only: no keyer\, no 
 keyboard. That is the club's whole premise rather than a category.\n\nThe 
 fifteen-minute QRS extensions at each end are not in the window: they are 
 an invitation to slow operators rather than part of the scored period.\nRu

SUMMARY:SKCC Straight Key Sprint Europe (SKSE)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: Straight Key Century Club\nModes: CW\nBands: 160m\, 80
 m\, 40m\, 20m\, 15m\, 10m\, 6m\nBand note: 160 through 6 m excluding the W
 ARC bands -- SKCC names 60\, 30\, 17 and 12 m as excluded.\nDuration: 2h\n
 Exchange: RST\, QTH\, the operator's name and the SKCC number. Non-members
  send 'none' for the number.\nLogs due: 2027-08-12\nNote: SKCC PRINTS TWO 
 UTC TIMES AND THE CONTEST HAS ONE LOCAL TIME. 2000Z from November to March
  and 1900Z from April to October are both 2100 in central Europe: CET is U
 TC+1 and CEST is UTC+2. So this is not a contest that changes its hour twi
 ce a year\, it is a contest at nine in the evening that Europe's clocks mo
 ve around\, and it is recorded the way the sponsor means it -- `timezone: 
 Europe/Berlin` with wall_clock times\, exactly as the ARS Spartan Sprint i
 s recorded in New York.\n\nTHAT READING IS TESTABLE AND IT PASSES ON THE M
 ONTHS THAT DECIDE IT. Europe changes clocks on the last Sunday of March an
 d of October\, and the first Thursday of both months falls on the near sid
