[CQ-Contest] NCCC Thursday Sprint Practice, April 2 UTC - Single band 40m, dupes OK

[Ken Keeler]

This week, we'll  use the NS CW  format, but special April fools rules:
Thursday, April 1, local time, April 2, UTC, 0230-0300Z.
We're on Daylight Savings Time, so your local time is one hour later 
than winter)

NS will be on  40m  ONLY  (7040 to 7050).
NCCC SPRINT RULES modified to:   DUPES OK, with one intervening 
QSO;  100 WATTS max

Practice the pure art of sprint, shedding the challenge of other band 
strategy and SO2R !!!
I hope this will encourage DanWa and the KID to rejoin the Thursday sprints.

Maybe W9RE will do the same format in SNS on this one-timer.  What think, Mike?

The SLOW SPEED CW NS practice continues on Thursday,  0200-0220Z: 
Check for W9RE's announcement on CQ-Contest for details.
The  schedule of Thursday (sometimes Friday also) events will soon 
be  posted on the NEXT NS page at:
