     F: Emergency Operation Centers
     Rules: https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/Field-Day-Rules.pdf
 
+    ARRL Sweepstakes
+    When: First full weekend in November
+    How: Stations in US/Canada exchange information with other US/Canada stations.
+    Exchange: <serial number> <Precedence> <Callsign> <Check> <Section>
+    where:
+      Serial number: sequential serial number for each contact
+      Precedence: A, B, Q, M, S, U
+      Callsign: your call sign
+      Check: last two digits of the year the operator or station was first licenced
+      Section: ARRL/RAC Section
+      for example: "123 A 72 OR"
+    Rules: https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/SS-Rules.pdf
+    Entering your Exchange:
+    - This contest uses a single field to enter the four parts of the SS-Rules
+      exchange. The exchange parts can be entered in any order as long as the
+      'numeric part' is followed by its corresponding 'character part.'
+    - For example, the two exchange parts can be entered in either order:
+        a) "123 A 72 OR"
+        b) "72 OR 123 A"
+    - If a correction needs to be made, just type it at the end. For example,
+      while copying you realize a mistake (123 should be 124). In this case,
+      simply type the correction at the end:
+        "123 A 72 OR  124 A"
+      This allows corrections to be made while you are copying the exchange
+      without using any arrow, delete or backspace keys.
+    - The spaces between the numeric and characters parts are optional.
+      The following are equivalent:
+        "123 A 72 OR"
+        "123A 72OR"
+        "72 OR 123 A"
+        "72OR 123A"
+    - Callsigns corrections can be optionally entered into the Exchange field.
+      If the caller sends a corrected callsign, you can enter the updated call
+      anywhere in the exchange field without changing focus to the original
+      callsign entry field.  For example, entering "W1AW 123 A 38 CT" will
+      update the callsign when storing the QSO into the log.
+    - For added realism, the simulation will populate the exchange field
+      with the Check and Section entries for the entered callsign. This
+      behavior matches current N1MM behavior. In addition, the simulation will
+      occasionally modify the Section to simulate when an operator is operating
+      from a different location.
+
+      By default, the Check/Section value will be pre-populated in the Exchange
+      field about 50% of the time. This behavior can be adjusted between 0% and
+      100% by setting the following keyword in the MorseRunner.ini file:
+        [Settings]
+        ShowCheckSection=50
+      Valid values range between 0 and 100, representing 0% and 100%.
+      Note that a zero value will disable this feature.
