A big thank you who have helped this year: Our NS Ladder Board: K4BAI,
N3BB,
N4AF and W9RE. Ken, N6RO, who runs the NCCC Thursday night sessions
through the
year, and of couse Ed, W0YK who somehow finds time from his world
renowned RTTY contesting activity to design and maintain our first-rate
NCCC
Sprint web page
Finally, a major reason for our NSL success is the excellent cooperation
from
Bruce, WA7BNM and Dink N7WA, who provides that important 1-2 punch of 3830
reports and summaries to CQ-Contest. We are deeply grateful.
After a year of first rate service on the NS Ladder board, Paul, K3STX
has moved
on.
