Here is a message about a practice session before the NA Sprint SSB this
weekend. I will not be in the practice sprint or the real thing this
time due to schedule conflicts. I hope that others will be QRV and will
make the SECC states available to the other sprinters. Have fun. 73,

[CQ-Contest] Practice NA Sprint SSB Friday night, Jan. 31
Date:
Thu, 30 Jan 2003 22:29:46 -0800
From:
Ken Keeler <kenkeeler@jazznut.com>
To:
cq-contest@contesting.com
N6ZFO asked me to up-date info on the NCCC-sponsored practice
micro-sprint
on Friday night:
03Z (1900 PST/2200 EST): Check in/listen on/near 3830 for
last-minute
strategy discussions. All welcome.
0315Z: 15 minute micro-sprint on 40 and 75m (7220+/- 20 and 3830
+/- 20)
0330Z: Rehash, critique, Q/A session.
Basic strategy is to S & P to make one QSO, acquire the frequency
and get
another one. Only CQ when a band has been worked out, or an obvious
clear
freq. shows up as you tune for a new 'target' QSO. Don't sweat the
mults,
they will come (or not).
Print out these messages with your own info and tape to your bench
to help
you get started. The flow of the information is different in the
two
'modes' of making a QSO. Practice at bit before the micro and the
'real
thing' on Saturday.
NA SPRINT MESSAGES:
1. When called by someone after CQ or after acquiring the frequency:
"His Call" N6RO #___ KEN CA
2. After acquiring the frequency (can only happen after you have
called
someone):
'His Call' #_____ KEN CA N6RO
Putting your call at the end of this message tells the world you
have
acquired the frequency and welcome someone to call. When someone
does
call, send msg. #1.
Much more referral info is in an earlier message from our sprint
coordinator, WX5S, and at: http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html Is
your
software/station ready?
Have fun, N6RO
