The proposed rules for a weekly SSB event are listed below. While the start date is TBD, please send me an email (NW2K at arrl.net) with comments/suggestions and let me know if you're inclined to participate. Should be great for fast-paced NAQP practice and welcoming new contesters of all skill levels.
