[SECC] Announcement: NCCC NS Ladder NA Sprint Practices Sessions begin Thursday Night

[John Laney]

Please join in the fun for a half hour each Thursday night.  Power is 
limited to 100W.  Format is same as for North American Sprint except 
that a few more mults are recognized (e.g., P4, PJ4, PJ2, 9Y).


With great enthusiasm we announce the big 25th NCCC Sprint Ladder 
competition, NSL XXV, starting this Thursday night, Jan 7.  [0230-0300Z 
Fri on 20, 40, 80 and 160 m . . details below.]

NSL XXV continues on 8 consecutive Thursday nights. 30 fast mins of fun 
contesting.  Only the top five scores are counted -- you can miss 3 
weeks and still compete fully in one of the 5 divisions.

It's our 25th ladder since the inception of NSL in 2004.  In the first 
ladder competition K6VVA and K6XX tied for first and were awarded a copy 
of a book titled "How to Cure Your Addictions".

We hope you will help us celebrate this significant accomplishment, at 
the same time sharpening your sprinting and general CW contesting skills.

Director and Founder of
NCCC Sprint Ladder -- with much help.
