To all RTTY ops:
Please join us in this week's half hour NS RTTY(North American Sprint contest,
RTTY mode, sponsored by the Northern CaliforniaContest Club), Thursday evening
local time (Friday 0145Z).
Last week featured many regulars, plus three opswho participate regularly in
our sister contest, the NS CW Sprint, but not inour contest – K7SV, K3MM, and
N7VS. Joining our contest enables the NS CW Sprint ops to get a good bead
onwhat propagation will be like for the NS CW. A word to the wise. Thanks to
allof you who joined us, and we hope to see you all on a regular basis!
A few entrants last week did not submit theirscores to www.3830scores.com at
the end of the contest. It’s easy – justsubmit your score to this Website for
the contest “NCCC RTTY Sprint”. Reporting your score, whether it be big
orsmall, helps build enthusiasm for this event. That in turn
increasesparticipation for future editions, which benefits all of us.
For those of you using the popular N1MM+ logger,the contest module to use is
NSRTTYDUPE. If you need a proven set offunction keys, let me know, and I’ll be
happy to share mine with you.
