2100-2130 UTC, Thursday, 11 February
0100-0130 UTC, Friday, 12 February (Thursday evening NA time)

On Thursday, let's have two 30-minute practice sessions to check out our
station equipment, software and operator(s).  Both sessions are prior to the
usual Thursday evening NCCC Sprints (RTTY and CW).

Operate just like it's the real thing that starts on Saturday UTC.  Use
whatever bands are open and active for you at each time slot.  You might
want to have a special message prepared to respond to stations telling you
that the contest hasn't yet started.

Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the CQ WPX RTTY Contest.  Take
some photos of your operation and send them and/or a summary of your
experience to me.  It will help in writing up the contest for the July CQ
magazine.
