[NCC] CQWW 160 CW coming up

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

Another cool but little known feature of CQ160 (and other CQ contests for  
that matter) is that they don't have the ARRL's obsession about using 
multiple  calls from a given transmitter or location. For the past few years I've 
operated  from home with one call on Friday, a second call on Saturday, and 
a couple of  times even a third call in the short time the band is useful on 
Sunday.
 
This really keeps the rate up on the second night.
 
As a matter of contest ethics should you do so, make a good effort to work  
anybody and everybody - no passing out qsos only to select friends.

p.s.   I hope this doesn't cause W8CAR to snap. Then he'd be a  160 
whipper-snapper.

As Tom  pointed out 2200Z end time not 0200!


Greetings NCCers, The CQWW 160  CW test is coming soon. Consider yourself
'whipped' to operate. The test  starts 2200Z on Jan 28 (Friday) and runs to
2200Z on Sunday. This is one of  my favorite tests and my view is EVERYONE
should get on and give me a  contact! You don't need power or even a good
antenna to make some contacts.  This is a good way to get ready for ARRLDX 
CW
coming in Feb.

Post  your plans here and I'll make a list to distribute and also add to  
the
website. I plan to be on as close to full time as possible and look  forward
to working lots of NCCers.
