[NCC] [MRRC] Fwd: [CQ-Contest] NCJ Sprint Changes in the works

[Robert Hayes]

Note the changes to the NCJ Sprints.  Same changes as were made to the NA SSB Sprint two years ago.  Glad to see it.  The only difference now is that NCJ has Newfoundland and Labrador together as one mult, whereas NA SSB Sprint has them separate (and SSB usually gets entries from both of those, so we would like to keep those separate).


That also means (other than that one difference) the logging software can be used for both CW and SSB.  So update your software, use it during CW Sprint and then join the NA SSB Sprint on April 2, 2017 0000-0359Z (which is the evening of Saturday, April 1 here in North America).

FYI . . .


Note that KH6, DC and the individual Maritime provinces also are now multipliers in the NAQP. Extra mults available this weekend, at least for those not out partying in Ohio  :-)

There are some changes being made to the NCJ Sprint rules effective this
year.  These apply to the CW and RTTY events (the SSB Spring has been
splintered off and is being sponsored by another group).

First off - in an effort to increase the activity generated by the team
competition, the maximum team size has been dropped from 10 to 5 members.
This means it will be possible for a smaller group of people to be
competitive in the team category.

Secondly - the multiplier list is being changed to make it the same as the
NAQP contests.  This adds KH6 and DC as multipliers, and also replaces MAR
and NT with the relevant Canadian province/entity.

Full rules can be found on the ncjweb.com website.

The next CW Sprint is scheduled for Feb 5th UTC. The QSO total award
certificates were mailed out yesterday - so if you improved on your QSO
total from February 2016, or made over 100 QSOs for the first time in 2016
in September, you should be receiving a certificate soon.
