[CQ-Contest] NA contesters Join us this weekend!

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

For the North American Contest Community
Many of you have had an opportunity to operate in the popular NAQP SSB contest. For those that have, you have enjoyed the fun and excitement we all share for these competitions in North America.  The NAQP tests are a blast, and we wanted to send a reminder for another NCJ contest, that can be equally fun and take very little from your weekend schedules.
How many States/Provinces can you work in 4 hours?  30? 40?  All?
We would like to invite you to join us for the fastest 4 hours of SSB contesting, the semi-annual NCJ North America sprint SSB.  The next running of this contest has been recently rescheduled and is coming up this weekend,
***0000Z-0400Z, Mar 17! (This Saturday evening).***
NCJ sprint contests are short duration contests that, unlike the NAQP contests offer high power, low power and QRP categories.  The sprint QSY format facilitates operations from modest QTH stations allowing competitive operations from smaller home stations as well as big guns alike.
We support team registrations of 10 or less members with no geographical limitations, so if you want to pull a local club team together, or grab some friends to form a “dream” team to compete.. go for it!
There is an easily learned standard exchange format that is supported by most major contest logging programs.  Info on this exchange is provided in the rules for the sprint that can be found at this link:

If you need assistance with Macros, resources can be found with your local contesting club, or feel free to contact the NCJ SSB Sprint Manager, Chris Tate N6WM (ssbsprintmgr at ncjweb.com<mailto:ssbsprintmgr at ncjweb.com>) with any questions.
You can potentially earn the ARRL WAS award in a few hours.  Join us for the challenge and find out how!
Thanks and we hope to catch you on the air this weekend!
Respectfully
