Now that the Ladder series takes a break, we'll continue to use the
NS CW ladder format with THREE OBJECTIVES:
1. Satisfy the weekly craving for NS by the regulars.
2. Provide a station checkout and CW practice for California QSO
Party on the weekend.
3. An opportunity to work NCCC members for our 40th Anniversary
Celebration award. - see www.nccc.cc
For those who are uncomfortable with the sprint format, simply CQ
until you log someone,
then QSY at least 5 Khz. and CQ again. We suggest you use the Slow
Speed session at 0200 (see below),
to check out your logger, and practice at 18 to 26 wpm, instead of
the nominal 35 wpm session at 0230Z
When?
Thursday, Sept. 30 local time, Oct 1 UTC, 0230-0300Z.
NS will be on FOUR bands; 160 (near 1815) , 80, 40, 20m (+40 to 45).
NCCC SPRINT RULES: NO DUPES on same band, 100 WATTS max, MULTS
COUNT ON EACH BAND
The SLOW SPEED CW NS practice continues on Thursday, 0200-0220Z:
Check for W9RE's announcement on CQ-Contest for details.
The schedule of Thursday (sometimes Friday also) events are posted
on the NEXT NS page at:
http://www.ncccsprint.com/next_ns.html
See N6WM's announcement on the CQP practice on Friday night.
In future weeks, we may modify the rules for Thursday practices:
Single band, dupes OK, QRP, and other suggestions from you all.
CU on Thursday and in CQP,
N6RO/N6O
