[NCC] 10m Contest and Net Reminder

[Nzharps@aol.com]

Hi All,

A brief reminder that the ARRL 10m Contest is this weekend.  It starts this 
evening at 7pm EST and runs 48 hours.  You may operate 36 hours and choose 
ssb only, cw only or mixed mode.  As  in most ARRL contests, each entry class 
has QRP, LP and HP categories.

10m has been good for the past several weeks and the forecast is for more of 
the same during the weekend.  The band seems to start opening between 1200z 
and 1230z with signals from the SE coming through first, followed shortly by 
good signals from EU.  Your milage/openings may vary according to available 
hardware.  My observations were made with an A4S at 60ft.

NCC hopes to make some noise this weekend, so get on and take a break from 
Christmas shopping.

BTW..don't forget the wildly popular NCC net nite coming up this Tuesday 
(Dec.17) on 3825 at 8pm.

73,
