The 29 th NCCC Sprint Ladder Begins this Thursday Jan 10th.
Same time and rules as for the weekly NCCC Sprint.  Thursday nights for 8 weeks at 0230-0300Z.    Final (8th) week is Feb 28.
Your 5 top scores count toward total.
Details: -- NS Rules: http://ncccsprint.com/rules.html 
  -- Your Division. . .see http://ncccsprint.com/ladder.html -- Dates -- SEE BELOW 
Bands:  15, 20, 40, 80, 160; 40-45 up, and 1815 +/-
Why Participate?  -- It's a fun, friendly competition.  -- Good for evaluating operating skills and station performance averaged over several weeks.  -- Opportunity to test new operating techniques, new or different antenna configurations, SO2R etc etc.  Compare your scores to nother participant, to the average score in your division etc.
  -- The Ladder is an excellent practice run-up to the NCJ NA CW Sprint on Feb 2 (Feb 3 Z)  (but we hope that those who use the Ladder for practice will stick around for completion. but please do not use HP).
  -- Most important: 
      --  PLEASE -- Low Power only for this event (use of HP can be disruptive to others)      -- Be mindful of the times exactly (0230:00Z - 0300:00 Z) because of the short duration and the exponential increase in score with time.
 -- Scores:  The 3830scores.com gives the usual weekly scores. . the week-to-week compilation will be at http://n3qe.org/ladder.html
 - Questions?  n6zfo at arrl.net or any Advisory Group member; you're also welcome to call N6ZFO at 415 209-3084

-- Software:  N1MM/ N1MM+ has the modules for NS .  so use the one you're accustomed to.  You could use the NA Sprint CW module and then re-score by hand for band-mults.  We did have a module for WL, but not sure of its status.
 -- Publicity .  Tell your friends about this event, maybe they will get hooked on Thursday night NS, as others have.  Post details to your local club.
