Comments on Wk 8 (June 12)
     -- Results posted at http://www.ncccsprint.com/results.htm .
     -- We invite anyone with an interest in the NCCC Sprint Ladder or the
NS to join the happy bunch on the NS Reflector, nccc-blue. To sign up, visit
http://www.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/nccc-blue . Sign up and wait for W0YK to
approve membership, usually very quickly.

     -- Top score in Wk 8 went to Mike W9RE with a NSL record 2,772 points.
That's good enough to capture the Locust X Prize. Offcially the Locust X
prize goes to the first station to achieve 2750 points in the half hour.
     -- As a result of Mike W9RE's record-setting performance last week and
the fact that Tor N4OGW, travelled to the East coast and operated QRP from
dockside, the two are in a virtual dead heat for the lead in the East of
Miss River division.
	-- With strong performances the last two weeks, Dan(Wa) K7SS has captured
the lead in the West of the Miss River division. But with 6 weeks remaining
don't count anyone out.
	-- In the Newcomers Division, N0KK is making a strong bid for the top spot
held by K7BG last week.
	-- In the NCCC member division, W0YK and N6RO are in a very close race. Ed
has more points but Ken has fewer weeks and a higher per event average.  If
you add Ken's average NSL score, then he and Ed are still within a couple
percentage points so it's anybody's race.


Why not come join us this Thursday night?  It's never too late to have FUN
!!
