[CQ-Contest] SSB Sprint Practices Thu & Fri

[Dean Wood]

The NCCC invites all of you to participate in this week's two SSB Sprint 
practices.

Thursday, February 3
7:30pm-8:00pm PST - Sprint SSB practice

Friday, February 4
6:30pm-7:00pm PST - Sprint SSB practice

Suggested frequencies: 3850, 7225, 14275 kHz +/-
Please be courteous to ongoing QSOs.  Given the QSY nature of Sprint, 
it's easy to step on someone by mistake.  Let's avoid frequency fights 
with ragchewers during the practices.

*Reduce Sprint intimidation factor
*Test logging software and digital voice keyer
*Practice using 2 radios in a Sprint environment
