"run it similar to the old Novice Roundup days... instead of one 4-hour
shot, spread it out"
WOW....Novice Roundup...what a pleasant memory! Not necessarily for me, but
for my son, who was 10, at the time, finishing in the top ten, in 1982 (I
think, without looking it up)!
I think I could support a "full 5 day week", especially if they started at a
different hour, each day? My first, and foremost, concern...how many really
have an efficient 160 meter antenna? I spent 2 hours, QRP, in the 160 SSB
contest, last weekend...60 Q's, 25 states. I'm in the process of improving
my 160 meter antenna, but with 110 X 50 property restriction, it will be a
challenge?
While on the subject of "SPRINT"....NCJ Editor, Carl, K9LA, is shopping for
a contest manager for the RTTY Sprint's. As in NAQP, only the write-up for
the NCJ, would be required, from the manager, as Bruce, WA7BNM, will be
checking the logs. How about someone, get in touch with Carl k9la at arrl.net
and volunteer for this position?
Thanks.
