[RTTY] Fwd: [NCCC] RTTY NCCC Sprint on Thursday (in NA)

[Hank Garretson]

Good Morning Diddlers,

Don't be intimidated by the word "sprint." Our Thursday night renditions
are low key, low pressure. Everyone is invited and welcome. No one is going
to give anyone a hard time about not being perfect. Give it a try and enjoy
the fun.

73,

Hank, W6SX

Activity has picked up since we re-started, so let's continue the  RTTY
sprint practice on Thursdays, one hour before the CW NS:

Next:  0130 to 0200Z, MARCH 22;  Thursday night in NA, 630 PM PDST, etc.
 Note that we are now all on DST.

Thanks to WA7BNM for setting up the score reporting on 3830.  Bruce, pls
continue UFN!

These 30 minute practices are  for experienced sprinters on cw to learn a
new mode,
and for RTTY contesters to learn the sprint format.  Also a chance
to try out the newly popular 2Tone decoder.

There are two main differences between the NCCC Sprints and NA Sprint:
In NS, power is limited to 100w, and mults count on all bands.
For this upcoming practice, use 80, 40, 20m;  up 80+ Khz. from the bottom
of the band.
You need two different messages in sprint, one when acquiring a frequency:
 N6TR  245 KEN CA N6RO;
in a different order when vacating the freq.:  N8EA N6RO 246 KEN CA.
This let's others know who is acquiring the freq.

NS rules at: http://www.ncccsprint.com/**rules.html<http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html>
These apply for the RTTY practice sprints.

If you want the Thursday sprint RTTY practices to continue in future weeks,
vote by showing up this Thursday.

Thursday Night Diddler, N6RO
