[CQ-Contest] NS Ladder V, Wk 6

[Bill Haddon - n6zfo]

NS Ladder Week 6 happens this coming Thursday night.  See www.ncccsprint.com for details.  Good time to join this summer fun event.

Newcomers division:    Last year we started the Newcomers Division, with with wine (or suitable substitute) going to the winner.  This week starts the competition run-up, with the award going to the station with the highest total for 6  of the last 10 NS Ladder events.  So . . if you've been at all tempted to try this snappy Thursday night contest, now's the time.  We're pleased to have several new participants  and a new Section for NS Ladder, OK.  Welcome to K5UV and KA3QLF.

 Scores are now posted through week 5 at http://www.ncccsprint.com/results.htm.  Some interesting competition this year; be sure to look at both the total score and average score in the table . . thus in the East of Ms R division, Howie, N4AF is first in total points, but it is actually Steve, N9CK, with a sizeably greater average score per week.  Reminder, we're counting the highest 12 scores out of 15 events this year.

Participation has been very good , but we can always use more competitors.  Be sure to show up half an hour early at 0200Z (1900 PDST Thursday) for Mike, W9RE's SNS.   And please submit your score report to WA7BNM's 3830 page at http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/

Note to participants:  we've scheduled an NS Ladder for the Dayton week (May 16)  . .if you'd like us to consider changing that date, please let me know.
