Adding fifteen meters should increase the fun factor. See you all there at
0130Z.

Subject: [NCCC] RTTY NCCC Sprint on Thursday (in NA), DUPES OK, add 15m!
To: nccc@contesting.com
The 30 minute RTTY sprint practice continues on Thursday, one hour before
the CW NS Ladder this week.
Next NS-RY: 0130 to 0200Z, May 10; Thursday night in NA, 630 PM PDST,
etc.
*To pump up the activity, DUPEs are OK, after one intervening QSO on any
band.
And, 15m was open last week, so let's add that band to the mix.
*These 30 minute practices are for experienced sprinters on cw to learn a
new mode,
and for RTTY contesters to learn the sprint format. Also a chance
to try out the newly popular 2Tone decoder.
There are two main differences between the NCCC Sprints and NA Sprint:
In NS, power is usually limited to 100w, and *mults count on all bands.
*For this upcoming practice, use 80, 40, 20, 15m; up 80+ Khz. from the
bottom of the band.
You need two different messages in sprint, one when acquiring a frequency:
N6TR 245 KEN CA N6RO;
in a different order when vacating the freq.: N8EA N6RO 246 KEN CA.
This let's others know who is acquiring the freq.
NS rules at: http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html
These apply for the RTTY practice sprints.
Thanks to WA7BNM/N7WA for providing the 3830 score reporting each week.
If you want the Sprint RTTY practices to continue, vote by showing up each
Thursday.
Thursday Night Diddler, N6RO
