[RTTY] RTTY NCCC Sprint on Thursday; DUPES OK, 15-80m

[Ken Keeler]

For those who need a weekly dose of RTTY contesting, we continue the 
NS (SPRINT) format practice sessions,
0145-0215Z, which worked out well the past few weeks.
Dupes OK after one intervening QSO on the same band, or on another 
band.  Great SO2R practice.

Here's your chance to get ready for the  RTTY NAQP this coming 
weekend, despite different exchange format.
There will also be an NAQP practice, using NAQP rules,  on Friday in 
NA, 0200Z for 30 minutes.

15m has been reliably open for some time,  start there.

The 30 minute RTTY sprint practice will be held on Thursday night, 45 
minutes before the CW NS:
0145to 0215Z July 18,  Thursday night in NA, 6:45-7:15 PM PDT, 
9:45-10:15 PM EDT, etc.

15, 20, 40, 80m;  +80 khz from bottom;  above 3583 on 80m.
100w, Sprint rules - see link below.

If you are intimidated by sprint rules, don't worry, just get on and 
CQ (then move 2 khz) or call someone and acquire the freq.

A new page has been set up on the NCCC website with the RTTY NS info.
It has several links to all sorts of "how to" articles.
