[RTTY] Tip for Thursday Night NS RTTY

[Gary AL9A]

Hank,

Are the Thursday Night NS RTTY rules different than the regular Sprint 
rules?  In the Sprint rules Section 11, Special QSY Rule, states that 
"...They must thereafter move at least 1 kHz before calling another station, 
or at least 5 kHz before soliciting other calls..."  By this part of the 
rules if you are only moving 1 kHz you must call another station, not call 
CQ.  Where am I missing it?

73,
Gary AL9A
