To all RTTY ops: 

It’s time to prepare for the big four hour NCJ RTTYSprint to be held this 
coming Saturday evening. The best way to do that is to join us in this week's 
half hour NS RTTY (NorthAmerican Sprint contest, RTTY mode, sponsored by the 
Northern CaliforniaContest Club), this Thursday evening local time (Friday 
0145Z).  

Many regulars participated last week, plus wewere pleased to see newcomers 
W9DCT and NT6X, and K9TI for his second go.  Thanks to all of you who joined 
us, and wehope to see you all on a regular basis! 

For those of you who are new to this contest, weuse a variation of the NCJ’s 
Sprint QSY rule – 1 KHz QSY’s rather than 5 KHz –and allow duplicate contacts 
after one intervening contact.  If you need a full explanation of thesespecial 
rules, send me an e-mail, and I’ll give you all the details, e.g., aprecise 
definition of our QSY rule. 

For those of you using the popular N1MM+logger, the contest module to use is 
NSRTTYDUPE.  A good set of samplefunction keys is in the N1MM+ function key 
gallery, and available forfree download. 

After the contest, please remember to submit yourscores to www.3830scores.com.  
It’s easy – on 3830, the name of thiscontest is “NCCC RTTY Sprint”.  
Reportingyour score, whether it be big or small, helps build enthusiasm for 
this event. Thatin turn increases participation for future editions, which 
benefits all of us. 

Remember to try 15 meters at the beginning ofthis Thursday night's contest – 15 
has often been open at 0145Z lately.  



The details of the next NS RTTY:
