[RTTY] NA SPRINT

[W6SX Hank Garretson]

Everyone has his preference and which way you do it isn't that important.

What is important is to be aware that the Sprint is different cat of 
contest and has special rules about CQing.  See

http://www.ncjweb.com/sprintrules.php

For good advice on how to operate the Sprint, see

http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html

In particular, note that the exchange sequence is different depending 
on whether you are the CQer or the CQanswerer.

To get a feel for it, try the practice tonight on 20, 40, and 80 from 
0230 to 0300Z.

Good luck and see you on three bands in the Sprint!
