[CQ-Contest] NS Ladder Wk 2

[Bill Haddon - n6zfo]

Join the fun this week for the NCCC Sprint Ladder, Wk 3.  We've made it easier:

It's back to the old familiar exchange:  #, NAME, QTH,  the one that may actually work with your logging program.

Rules for NS Ladder, and results through Wk 2 are at www.ncccsprint.com. 
Time: Friday 0230-0300Z 20-160m CW (Thursday night US).

Regarding logging:

You'll probably want to use the NCJ CW  NA Sprint module in your favorite program, making sure that dupes will be recorded, even if not scored,. Then generate a standard Cabrillo log and  use the N4AF score calculator on the NS website, or just hand calculate if you wish, remembering that mults are by band.  Post scores to Bruce's 3830 score forms at www.hornucopia.com.

For further logging details see http://www.ncccsprint.com/software.htm, but recall that we're no longer using "first call" in the exchange.

Even in sometimes poor conditions this fast-paced contest has high rate and much fun -- our primary objective.  About 25 stations per week have shown up for the first two NS Ladder competitions, so there's plenty of room for more activity.  Very pleased to have Tor, N4OGW back with us again, giving out the rare MS mult.

Questions and comments as usual, to N6ZFO.  NS ladder is a fun, quick and very educational half hour of mid-week contesting,  and a great opportunity to practice or learn SO2R skills, test a new antenna, or just say hi to your friends.
