The end is in sight . . week # 14 of 18 NS Ladder events. After that, back to
regular NS with N6RO. No NS Ladder for the July 4th week. Full schedule at:
http://www.ncccsprint.com/next_ns.htm
-- Thursday night US : 0230-0300Z Friday. See www.ncccsprint.com for details.
-- Slow NS (SNS) 0200-~0215Z on 20 and 40m cw. (W9RE)
-- We're still looking for the first NS Ladder competitors from PA, UT, NJ, NM,
MN, VA and others. Twenty seven states and two Canadian provinces have
appeared at various times this year.
-- Remember to search for a creative (but legal) way to claim the K6VVA NS X
Prize - first stn with 3000 pts in one 30-min session. It's doable. Eventually
someone will put the right strategy together. High score so far, W9RE 2574 in
NSL IV Wk 9, N4AF 2400 in Wk 6
-- "Newcomers Div" scores are now posted at www.ncccsprint.com/results.htm .
Still time to join this group. The 19 active stations in this division of
stations new to NS Ladder reflects our great success in NS Ladder IV. (That's
four, not Intra-Venous .. NS Ladder does not hurt, but rather feels good, at
least afterwards).
-- Join N6RO for the NCCC contest net immediately afterwards on 3610. You
don't have to be an NCCC member to join Ken and other friendly NCCCr's and NS
Ladder folks in this friendly discussion of contesting.
-- A word about score reporting. . we'd really like to hear from you, even
minor participants. We can list you as "participant" without an actual score
if you prefer. http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/ or e-mail your score (or
non-score) to n6zfo@arrl.net.
-- Four stations have perfect attendance in NSL IV: k0xp/1, w0bh (Bob leads
West of Ms. River div), k6vva, and ka3drr/6.
NS Ladder blogs:
-- KA3DRR ka3drr.blogspot.com Very complete and very entertaining.
-- N6ZFO nsladder.blogspot.com Very in-complete, but you may like the banner
introduction to "Ultimate Radiosport" I'll really try to start this week, if
for no other reason to lessen the bandwidth on CQ-Contest. (Thankfully no one
has complained, yet).
73 and thanks to all of you who have supported our little "summer fun" contest
this year.
