[RTTY] [NCCC-blue] NCCC RY-Sprint K6YL LP

[Ed Muns]

In most contests, the running station K6LL would not give up the frequency
and would continue working stations there.  However, the Sprint rules are
unique in that only one station may be worked as a result of a CQ (or an
implied CQ).  The previously running station K6LL must QSY at least 1 KHz
before answering another CQing station or at least 5 KHz before calling CQ
again himself.  The Search & Pounce station K7ABC then "inherits" the
frequency and can work one station before he also must QSY.  The "implied
CQ" is the exchange sent by the Search & Pounce station K7ABC which then
tells everyone on frequency that he is ready for another QSO, thus
inheriting the frequency from K6LL.

This is true for all three modes of Sprint: CW, SSB and RTTY.
