[SECC] Announcement, Thursday SS CW Practice Session

[John Laney]

NCCC THURSDAY NIGHT MADNESS continues this week, Oct. 27, Thursday local
date,
with an ARRL Sweepstakes CW warmup.  CQ with 'SSP'  (SS practice).

Good opportunity to check out your antennas, station setup, RFI, logging
S/W, band condx, etc.
The long exchange in SS is an accuracy challenge, especially for us old 
farts.
   So, let's practice, practice, practice!

-- 30 mins   0230-03Z
-- Start 0230Z (1930 PDT, 2030 MDT, 2130 CDT 2230 EDT)

-- 14040, 7040, 3540, 1810

   Almost normal SS rules, any entry/power class you choose.
EXCEPTION to normal rules, dupe QSOs (one per station/band) allowed on each
of the four bands (20 thru 160m).
Mults only count once, per SS rule.

Disable your logging program's "no dupe" toggle, so you can log dupe Qs on
other bands.
Calculate score by old-fashioned math! Total  Qs x 2 x mults (ARRL 
sections).

-- Report scores on 3830 LSB after the practice,  at 0300Z (8 PM PDT) on
the weekly NCCC
contest net).  Real-time score collecting, bragging, excuses, antenna 
checks,
advice.................or report score/comments on 3830 reflector (no
automated entry setup for this)

THURSDAY NIGHT MADNESS continues on Nov 3 and 4,
again with SSP CW format.  NS rules resume on Nov 10.
   Sweepstakes SSB practice Nov. 17,18. CQWW CW practice on Nov. 24.

CU in SSP, N6RO
