The rules specify that we use the "standard FT4 frequencies". I assume that
means 3.575, 7.0475, 14.080, 21.140, 28.180, etc. I agree with what K6OK said
previously, namely, all those get very little use EXCEPT 14.080, which has been
hopping lately. If there is too much confusion on 14.080 (e.g., people sending
signal reports and not grid squares), I suggest we move off that a little, say
to 14.084. Also, in addition to the standard FT4 frequencies, we might want to
check out the FT4 contest frequencies of 3.580, 7.080, 21.080, 28.080, etc.
that are specified for the ARRL International Digital Contest.

To all FT4 ops:
This is a reminder that once again, the Northern California Contest Club is
pleased to present a new weekly half hour FT4 Sprint, aka the FT4 NS, this
Thursday evening North America time. Non-North American Stations are welcome
in this contest as well.
The start time of the FT4 NS is always Fridays at 0100Z, regardless of whether
we?re on Standard Time or DaylightSavings Time.
Since everyone is new to the FT4 Sprint, we are starting out with no QSY rules
and no Dupe rule, i.e. QSYing after a QSO is not required and duplicate
contacts are not permitted. Those rules may change, but for our first running
onthis week
After the contest,please remember to submit your score to www.3830scores.com.
The name of this contest is "NCCC FT4 Sprint". Reporting your score, whether
it be big or small, helps build enthusiasm for this event.That in turn
increases participation for future editions, which benefits all of us.
For those of you using the popular N1MM+ logger, one can use any contest module
that uses 1 pt per QSO and Grid squares as multipliers. If using just WSJT-X,
you can use the NA VHF selection.
Also, keep in mind that this contest covers 7 bands, and features mults per
band. If you got someone nearby, it could be 7 fast, easy mults!
The details of our first FT4 Sprint:
Friday, 26 May, 0100Z to 0130Z (Thursday, 25 May 2023 in North America)
--1800 to 1830 PDT
--2100 to 2130 EDT--Normal FT4 frequencies
-- Multipliers are counted PER BAND
-- 100W max output power--Report Scores to 3830scores.com- No Cabrillo
