[CQ-Contest] Thursday AND Friday NCCC Practice, 0330 to 04Z - ARRL SWEEPSTAKES rules!

[Ken Keeler]

NCCC THURSDAY & FRIDAY NIGHT MADNESS continues this week,
  Nov. 3 & 4 local date,  with an ARRL Sweepstakes CW warmup.
  CQ with 'SSP'  (SS Practice).

NORMAL SS rules, any entry/power class you choose.
Last week we had unusual rules, allowing dupes on other bands.
This just confused many folks, so NO DUPES this week.

-- 30 mins   0330-04Z  (all NCCC practice sessions will be the same LOCAL 
time, year round, UFN)
-- Start 0330Z (1930 PT, 2030 MT, 2130 CT 2230 ET)

-- 14040, 7040, 3540, 1810.  If the MUF shuts down 40m, 160 can take up the 
slack.

This is a good opportunity to check out your antennas,
  station setup, RFI, logging S/W, band condx, SO2R practice, etc.
The long exchange in SS is an accuracy challenge, especially for us old farts.
  So, let's practice, practice, practice!

-- Report scores near 3830 LSB after the practice,  at 0400Z (8 PM PST) on 
the weekly NCCC
contest net).  Real-time score collecting, bragging, excuses, antenna checks,
advice...or report score/comments on 3830 reflector (no automated entry 
setup for this)

THURSDAY NIGHT MADNESS continues with  NS rules  on Nov 10 (local)

  Sweepstakes SSB practice Nov. 17,18. CQWW CW practice on Nov. 24.

CU in SSP and SS on Sat., N6RO
