The Sugar Delta group being apolitical, the countries which are always in the case of Brexit, are
considered as European for the Group. .
PLEASE NOTE: 106 divisions are NOT in Europe – 68 divisions in total.
Scores:
1 point for each contact multiplied by the divisions worked is:
50 progressives x 10 divisions = 500 points.
You MUST give and receive a progressive number, contact with ALL stations are valid only if a progressive number is given between both stations, NO PROGRESSIVE NO POINT!
The only acceptance will be: when working an SES, DX, IOTA or Zero.
The contact (in the log) will be accepted providing the contest manager can obtain a copy of the log book of the activation
to confirm the contact and WILL be accepted without a progressive number received or given.
Who can you contact You can work operators in any division including your own.
Sending Logs: Emailed logs must be sent well within the deadline date: 31st July 2026.
Any logs received after or on this date will be void. Participation If you participate within the contest please ALL send in your logs whether you have made 1 contact or more, this will be very much appreciated.
Calling Frequencies: 27.595 then QSY to any frequency for the QSO providing it is within your countries local laws
and regulations. You can use 27.555 if your radio will not transmit on 27.595, I ask all where possible to use 27.595
to avoid making to much QRM on 555 for those who do not participate within the contest
to give them a chance to make some DX.
27.275: I recommend to use frequency 27.275 in the contest who has problems with radio police and has no opportunity to work
higher than 27.405.
Trophies The first top 3 finalist SD members Single and Multi operators will receive a trophy each.
The first place single operator NON SD member will receive a trophy. The first placed Multi Operator NON SD member will receive a trophy.
Good luck to all!

OFFICIAL STATEMENT – SUGAR DELTA
OFFICIAL STATEMENT – SUGAR DELTA
From Sugar Delta we inform the amateur radio community that in recent weeks we have received several requests for confirmation of QSO made by different operators, mainly related to the activations carried out during the Tour of Africa by our group.
Due to the fact that the previous manager responsible for the management of these confirmations is no longer operational within the Sugar Delta group, and after considering the requests received, the organisation has decided to enable an extraordinary and unique period of four (4) months to process these confirmation requests. DEADLINE 1st of july. Any requests received after this date will not be processed..
Any operator wishing to request confirmation of their QSO should please send their request as soon as possible to the following email address:
sugardeltaconfirmationqsl@gmail.com
After the established period has elapsed, the processing of new requests related to these activations can not be guaranteed.
We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the entire community.
