Hi All, This weekend (Sunday Zulu, Saturday evening local) is the NCJ NA Sprint, RTTY phase. There was some discussion of using two different exchanges, depending on whether you're the caller or call

Hi all, So I ran the Sprint with a version of WL that didn't know about the RTTY phase (10.30B), telling it the contest was CW (I thought, the Cabrillo file said SSB). I have no idea of my score, sin

No no no no no no no! All you need to send is TU. Then vamoose! I think W2UP was sending "T" Take a look at his score. If you were sending TU QSY, you were one of the fastest ops in this contest. A l

I agree with Dave! Don't make it longer. Keep it short. The beauty of the Sprint, and the key to a high QSO total, is getting into a rhythm where a calling station can quickly drop his callsign in af

I have a question and I don't mean it to be insulting or to pick a fight: Where is the accomplishment in working the same stations repeatedly. What skill or achievement does that represent? With the

You have a point there, but in situations like these I like to ask "Is life more fun or less fun by participating in this activity?" I think it's pretty good fun. If you have two radios going, its a

Well maybe. The freq and other stuff may not make sense but I think ensuring the exchange happened is important. I probably had too long of a message for the first go round and I had shortened it by

If you're listening on the headphones, especially if you use "low tones," you can train yourself to remember the pitch, amplitude, and possibly other characteristics of the station you are working. T

But I must agree with the orginal poster on what is accomplished by working the same people over and over again. S%P on the same US stations is not that interesting. It depends on your goals. I like

This contest would have died very quickly with participation such that we'd run out of guys to work after 45 minutes or so. It would be great if we had enough activity to eliminate the dupe rule. Unf
