Some reasons for partipating in the NCCC Thursday Sprint
Ladder: It's --
1) Fun, and challenging, and brief.
2) A regular format for practicing/upgrading contesting skills
and quantifying your improvements.
3) A potential 'laboratory' for testing your new antennas,
SO2R capabilities, and other station improvements that
you will make over the summer. Probably week-to-week QSO
totals compared to other stations rather than total
score will be the best measure of how your great new
antenna design actually functions under contest conditions.
Full results for the 12-wk ladder will be available at ncccsprint.com.
Finally, if your contest club wishes to conduct it's own ladder
competition, the NCCC Thursday Sprint format and structure
can be used independently of NCCC's contest. Just extract the
scores and use them as you wish. For example, a 4-week
ladder competiton just in June or July could be carried out
separately by any club or group.
