Comments:
-- There's competition in the EM Division; while it looks like
K4BAI is way in the lead, note that N4OGW, who has competed in
just 4 NS events, is closing in. So John, you better
not relax too much. Really the same story in the WM division.
We will count only the highest 8 of up to 11 scores for awards.
With rapidly increased participation, the real battles may
still lie ahead. And who knows, maybe K4BAI is planning a 3-wk
vacation in Hawaii.
-- 40 stations have submitted scores for at least 1 NS.
-- Partipation is increasing. With 5 competitions remaining,
there's still potential to win by beginning now. That's
particularly true because of we count only the top 8 of
your scores for the awards. The numbers above may represent
only 1/3 or so of the final total scores.
-- Very pleased to have our first Canadian, VA3NR for that valuable
ON mult. Thanks also to WD0T for SD, and for that matter to W9RE for
IN :-). Better stop.
-- CA/NV Division. Come on folks, aren't there some non-NCCC members
in CA/NV beside our loyal participant W6SJ? Who else would like to
compete for a bottle of NCCC wine???? SCCC where are you guys??
-- NCCC Div: The tight race between N6RO and K6XX has been given a
further push with a side-bet by the famous (infamous?) Locust, K6VVA,
who is offering a suitable libacious award to either or both these
gentlemen for achieving a QSO rate of 136/hour -- notably faster
than Tree's record-setting pace in the NA CW Sprint.
A few of the comments from 3830 score reports:
- "What a fantastic idea for a contest!!" K3STX
- "With nice activity never had to worry about
the 1 interleaving q." W9RE
- "this is all about having summer fun" K7NV
- "Thought this test would sneak by Murphy, I was
wrong. It was fun anyway." W4NZ
- "HARDLY WORTH THE EFFORT FOR 30 MINS" (statistical anomaly)
- "Great fun, my first nite on the NS!!
I really enjoyed it" WD0T
- "These [NS] sessions are great,
and I think it is going to pay off." NO6X
- "Improved rhythm here. Used 25 WPM and then
29 WPM the last 15 minutes" N3BB
- "It is a very family friendly contest, with a small baby
. . . it is not a big deal to have a ton of fun in a
short time . ." K3STX
- "This practice has helped me. Thanks NCCC
folks! N3BB
- "Sure a lot of fun. One of the best half-hours of
the week. Finally broke the 30 barrier." W6SJ.
- "Fun as usual. More multipliers than before." W6RK
So, . . there you have it; please join us this Thursday
and, as best you can, follow our guideline of holding the
speed down to ~20 wpm for first 10 mins. The payoff will
be, eventually, more participation by newcomers in the
NA Sprints and in other CW contests.

Contest Director for NCCC Thursday CW Sprint (NS)
(with much much help from Ken, N6RO and others,
notably the Locust, K6VVA, perhaps our biggest fan)

different score, please contact n6zfo@arrl.net
