Hello all
You may recall that the NCJ North American Sprint, CW, is this Saturday
night. 00-04Z Sunday. It takes place on 20, 40, and 80 CW. You can
work each station once per band, but multipliers (State, Canadian areas,
and North American countries) are counted once for the contest.
Exchange is both calls, #, name, SPC. Most start out on 20, although a
few will be on 40 at least with SO2R. When 20 begins to close, everyone
moves to 40, and then on to 80. You must relinquish the frequency after
you work someone who calls you. Then you must move one kHz at least to
call someone else or at least 5 kHz for a general call. Power is
permitted up to the legal limit, but a significant number of low power
and QRP stations always participate too. Stations outside North America
may be worked for QSO points, but not for multipliers. This is a fun,
intense, four hour Sprint.
Teams are entered with up to 10 members. KU8E, Jeff, will register
teams for the Southeast Sprint Coalition. There is no circle
requirement or membership requirement. If you will participate on a
team, e-mail Jeff at ku8e at bellsouth.net and tell him what power level
you will use and whether you will be full or part time. He will register
the teams before the contest starts and send out a roster so you will
know the other team members.
Please e-mail Jeff ASAP so we can have a good group of contesters
committed to operate and everyone can have a lot of fun. The SSB event
is run the next Saturday night. Thanks and 73, John, K4BAI.
