Vineyard, www.munsvineyard.com) -- hand-crafted wines by an expert 
radio-contester.  Awards by weighted-random drawing, adjusted for 
participation (4 wk minimum), score and place in division. All 10 
sessions gains you an extra place in the drawing.

NSL is a quick, fun Thurs night break. .  Most importantly the series 
will hone your skills.  Uniquely, NSL provides a repeating, constant 
format for testing station improvements and new operator skills such as 
SO2R in a measurable way, averaging out week-to-week variations in 
propagation.  Good way to test the performance of that new 6-el 
rotatable 160 meter Yagi you've just installed for the upcoming Stew 
Perry and to hone skills for the upcoming February NA CW Sprint.

NS Ladder is a component of NCCC Thursday Night Contesting.  Our 
webmaster John, K6MM, describes NS as "Contesting on the Edge."  We owe 
special thanks to Bruce, WA7BNM and Dink, N7WA for providing
