[Ken Keeler]

NCCC PRACTICE SPRINT continues this week, Feb. 28, local date in 
North America;  Feb. 29, UTC.

Usual NS rules this week, adding 20m.  This is the last week before 
the Ladder Competition so we'll use those rules.
(Last week I was planning an SSB NS, but we'll do that later in the 
year after the Ladder series.)

LOCAL START time, year round, UFN)
-- Start 0330Z (1930 PST, 2030 MST, 2130 CST 2230 EST)

This Thursday, use  NS (NCCC Sprint) rules using THREE bands:
BANDS:   20, 40, 80, 160m: --  7040, 3540, 1815  +/-5.
-- CW only, LOW POWER, dupes allowed after 1 intervening Q  1 KHz QSY.

Slow speed NS (SNS) from 0300 to 0315Z, 40m and 80m
