A reminder of the Slow Speed NS practice tonight from 0200z to 0215z. 

Get on the air and check out your antennas to see if they still work.

Call a friend and encourage them to try it out. 
 
The NCCC’s (Northern California Contest Club) weekly Thursday night running
of the SNS and NS are tonight.
 
Practice your "moves" at slower speeds, and try and work new guys and slower
operators, as opposed to the regulars. (de N3BB)
 
The regulars should delay “answering a regular” to see if a “newbie is
answering a regular” maybe 3 seconds or so.  Also suggest that if you (a
regular) are not finding a couplet with a newbie then you should call a CQ
as opposed to searching and searching.
 
All of the same rules apply to the SNS as the regular one (dupe allowed
after 1 intervening Q) so you are allowed to work the same station as long
as you have worked another station in between (only exception is that you
can work a station on 40 and then can work him/her immediately on another
band (say 20 meters).  
 
Bands will be 20 and 40 meters (around 14040 and 7040).
