You're all invited to pound some brass this weekend in the North American
CW Sprint - Feb 4th 0000-0359 UTC (Saturday evening in NA). It's four
hours of scrambling fun to make contacts, tune, and make some more. (See
the rules for more on the special QSY rule.) Check out the contest web
page at https://ncjweb.com/north-american-sprint/.
Contact any station in North America (CQ Zones 1-8 plus KH6) and send BOTH
call signs, serial number, your name, and QTH (state, province, prefix, or
"DX" for non-NA). DX stations outside NA are quite welcome - only contact
NA stations, though.
For information about operating in the CW Sprint, see the contest web
page. There is a good article by Jim George, N3BB about how to operate if
you haven't tried this contest before. If you are in a rare QTH or a DX
country, check out the records at
https://ncjweb.com/sprint-scores/CWSprintRecords.pdf and see if there isn't
something to shoot for. There are QRP and LP categories, too.
If you haven't "sprinted" before, check out the Thursday night, 30-minute
practice session sponsored by the NCCC: https://www.ncccsprint.com/. It
starts at 0230 UTC. There is a weekly announcement posted here on
CQ-Contest - watch for it!
CW Sprint is four hours of the most fun you can have with your clothes
on...or so it has been said. Get on and find out!
