[RTTY] NS RTTY this Thursday (with time warning #3)

[John Barber]

I am sure there was a RTTY Sweepstakes in the early days 1960s/1970s? I
could look it up but someone here will probably remember.

Greetings Diddlers:

Hope everyone had a great time in the SS.  I've always wondered what an RTTY
Sweepstakes would be like.hmmm.

OK, for those of you not in Arizona or KH6, don't forget that NS starts one
hour earlier local time.  So if you start calling cq and wonder where
everyone is, they have been there and done that earlier.

Most all of our regulars were active last week, with W9BGX (WA9LKZ) our
newest regular participant.  Activity does seem to be migrating to lower
bands so don't give up if 20 sounds dead at the beginning.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session (with the new
time slots duly noted):
Friday,  10 Nov 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 9 Nov 2017 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band
-- 100W power limit
Please visit http://www.ncccsprint.com/rttyns.html for complete rules and
links to other info. If you find any problems with the web pages, please let
me know so we can get them fixed.

setup the most common logging programs.
Don't forget to report your score to 3830scores.com, and join us at 0300Z on
3610 kHz (+/- a few for ongoing groups) for comments and questions (and
