NSL is a quick, fun Thurs night break. . Most importantly the series will
hone your skills. Uniquely, NSL provides a repeating, constant format for
testing station improvements and new operator skills such as SO2R in a
measurable way, averaging out week-to-week variations in propagation. Good
way to test the performance of that new 6-el rotatable 160 meter Yagi you've
just installed for the upcoming Stew Perry and to hone skills for the
upcoming February NA CW Sprint.
