[CQ-Contest] NCCC Thursday Night Practice Party December 28 - modified STEW PERRY rules

[Ken Keeler]

NCCC PRACTICE PARTY  continues this week,
Dec. 28 local date in North America;   Dec. 29 Zulu time.

Our event this week retains some of the flavors of the NCCC Sprint for SO2R 
practice, and is a good set-up/warm-up for the 160m Stew Perry Top Band 
competition, starting at 15Z, Dec. 30.

30 minutes starting at 0330Z, and TWO bands!
-- Start 0330Z (Thursday - 1930 PDT, 2030 MDT, 2130 CDT 2230 EDT)

  A combination of Stew Perry and NS (NCCC Sprint) rules:
BANDS:   80 & 160m only: --  3540,  1815; +/-5.
Send Stew Perry exchange, (grid square);  Stew Perry scoring (your software 
should handle this.)

-- CW only, choice of power (Q,L,H); dupes allowed after 1 intervening Q on 
the same band, 1 KHz QSY.
Back-to-back QSOs with same station on the two bands are OK.

On Friday, Dec. 29 in North America, we'll run another 30 minute practice 
(0330-04Z Dec. 30) using the real STEW PERRY RULES, 160m only.  Look for an 
announcement from N6ZFO.

The  schedule of Thursday (sometimes Friday also) events through February 
is now posted on the NEXT NS page at:
