[RSM] NCCC Sprint Ladder announcement

[Jack/W6NF]

FYI, the announcement of the next CW Sprint ladder.

You'll have to read the rules to get the idea of the Sprint QSY rule. It is
very different from anything else you might have encountered in Radiosport.

There is a reason the NCCC folks refer to it as the fastest half-hour in
contesting!
