[NCC] Slow Speed NS This Thursday Night

[Hal Offutt]

Hi Everyone!

I think most NCC members are aware of the Thursday night NS contests, 
because some of us who participate post our results here.  NS stands for 
Northern California Contest Club Sprint, and they are held for 30 
minutes every Thursday night at 10:30 PM in the summer and 9:30 PM in 
the winter (0230Z Friday morning).

The speed of these little contests tends to get pretty fast, so some ops 
may hesitate to participate.  If you've wanted to join in but thought 
the speed was too high, this Thursday night is your chance to try out 
the Sprint format at a slower speed.  The session this week will be run 
at a maximum speed of 20 wpm in hopes of attracting some new ops.  
Please see the information below and try your hand in this fun event.  
You might find that you like it!.

20 WPM NS FOR FRIDAY, June 23,.  0230-0300Z

Our recent threads on whether to conduct a slow speed NS was in the main 
favorable.  So here goes:
This  week, will be at a rate of 20 WPM.    This is a trial session to 
encourage potential newbies to NS to operate
with the Sprint format at a lower CW rate.  Please consider inviting a 
potential NS op to this 20 WPM evening.

Note that we be be posting our 20 WPM session invite on the CW Ops 
reflector.
Newcomers to NS are always welcome, so please join in.
