As more WL users are joining in the NCCC NS fun on Thursday Nights, I'm 
hoping there might be a WL Module Programming Guru who can help us with a 
minor tweak to the NA Sprint module (to the benefit of many).

Currently, the NS Rules allow duplicate contacts on the same band as long 
as one "intervening" QSO has occurred with another station on ANY 
band.  The reason for this is to give everyone the opportunity to keep 
things alive at a good QSO rate potential for 1/2 hour and minimize the 
snooze factor.

As more folks participate, I can see the possibilities of a future NS 
series needing perhaps 2 "intervening" QSOs.

Therefore, the ideal would be a module tweak with maybe some kind of .ini 
entry ability for the WL end-user to change the NIQ factor as NS rules may 
change in the future.  Something like:

NcccNsNiq = 1  (present rules) ... which could be changed to:  NcccNsNiq = 
2, etc. as the future may require.

Hmmm...as similar NS "Practice Session" concept events involving other 
contest formats might emerge, perhaps the ultimate ideal would be a couple 
Magic Bullet .iniswitches *within* WL itself to:

1. DupeCheck = yes (or no --- Turn Dupe checking ON/OFF); and,

2. Have an .ini line option like NcccNsNiq = blah (or generic NiqThreshold 
= blah)

Tnx & 73...
