An mp3 recording of WK 2 of the NS Ladder competition is available, 
courtesy of Cal K0DXC ("Kid" in NSL).

Two ways to access:

         1) Through Cal's excellent website at www.k0dxc.com
         2) As a link from K0DXC's Wk 2  score at 
http://www.ncccsprint.com/results.htm

For those of you who are thinking about joining the NSL:  the audio file 
is a great preview the contest, allowing you to experience it's flow and 
rhythm. It may also be a useful training exercise --  see how many calls 
you can pick out of the 30-min recording.

Comments?  Let Cal or me know what you think.  If you'd like to 
contribute a reccording from your QTH, we can probably arrange it, but 
with the preference that the file reside on your website.   Cal as he is 
able,  will be providing more-or-less weekly updates to the audio files.

Locust X Prize:
           Look for an announcement later this week.    The qualifying 
score for the K6VVA NSL X Prize will be reduced from 3000 to a more 
sensible value. The NSL-BOD discussed  this situation last week at 
K6VVA's request: We did some modeling, and have come up with a sensible 
but still challenging number.  But K6VVA will make the final decision on 
its exact value.
