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.
