[SECC] Announcement, NCCC NS No Dupes Practice Session Thursday Night

[John Laney]

Following on the big success of last week's no same-band dupes test for 
NS Ladder we're holding a second identical session this Thursday night, 
0230-0300Z (Friday UTC). 20, 40 and 80m. CW on the following frequencies:

20 m      14030-14045 (avoid W1AW at 14047.5)
40 m      7030-7045 (avoid W1AW at 7047.5 and PSK at 7038)
80 m      3530-3545

Re WPX practice: NS is a great opportunity for WPX participants to check 
their equipment under vigorous conditions. Familiarize yourself with the 
NCCC Sprint rules at www.ncccsprint.com
and join us for 30 mins of fun, hectic contesting using a modified 
sprint format. Then post scores to www.hornucopia.com  .

Same format as the usual ladder, see 
http://www.ncccsprint.com/ladder.htm   For this week only, no dupes are 
allowed on the same band.  All other rules the same. See 
http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.htm  .

Note: The scores for this week's NS will not be included in the NS 
Ladder compilation.  The regular NS Ladder, with dupes allowed, resumes 
on June 5 UTC.

Not up to the 30+ wpm speeds of the NS Ladder?  Mike, W9RE runs the 
"Slow NS", SNS 30 minutes earlier (0200-0215Z) same frequencies as NS.
