[NCC] Russian DX contest

[Dan Kovatch]

This is one of my favorite contests. Not only do they provide free software,
they send you results via e-mail and snail mail. You get an e-mail with your
UBN report and other interesting stuff. Lots of activity, 24 hour format and
lots of Russians. (I have been fixated on working Russians since being a
young ham-some of my first DX was UA style and they still have some of the
best CW ops in the world)

Try it you'll like it. There is a club category-any one interested in doing
an entry from NCC?? Let me know. I don't think we have to register just put
it in your log file. The software they provide mimics CT and NA pretty well
and produces a cabrillo file.I have pasted the the contest rate sheet info
below.
