[SECC] Reminder: NCJ NA Sprint SSB This Saturday

[John Laney]

Let me know if you want to be on a team.  73, John, K4BAI.



For the North American Contest Community
Many of you have had an opportunity to operate in the popular NAQP SSB 
contest. For those that have, you have enjoyed the fun and excitement we 
all share for these competitions in North America.  The NAQP tests are a 
blast, and we wanted to send a reminder for another NCJ contest, that 
can be equally fun and take very little from your weekend schedules.
How many States/Provinces can you work in 4 hours?  30? 40?  All?
We would like to invite you to join us for the fastest 4 hours of SSB 
contesting, the semi-annual NCJ North America sprint SSB.  The next 
running of this contest has been recently rescheduled and is coming up 
this weekend,
***0000Z-0400Z, Mar 17! (This Saturday evening).***
NCJ sprint contests are short duration contests that, unlike the NAQP 
contests offer high power, low power and QRP categories.  The sprint QSY 
format facilitates operations from modest QTH stations allowing 
competitive operations from smaller home stations as well as big guns alike.
We support team registrations of 10 or less members with no geographical 
limitations, so if you want to pull a local club team together, or grab 
some friends to form a “dream” team to compete.. go for it!
There is an easily learned standard exchange format that is supported by 
most major contest logging programs.  Info on this exchange is provided 
in the rules for the sprint that can be found at this link:

If you need assistance with Macros, resources can be found with your 
local contesting club, or feel free to contact the NCJ SSB Sprint 
Manager, Chris Tate N6WM 
(ssbsprintmgr at ncjweb.com<mailto:ssbsprintmgr at ncjweb.com>) with any 
questions.
You can potentially earn the ARRL WAS award in a few hours.  Join us for 
the challenge and find out how!
Thanks and we hope to catch you on the air this weekend!
Respectfully
Chris Tate – N6WM
Contest Manager
NCJ North American Sprint – SSB
