[SECC] New Thursday night Ladder Series Starts Thursday

[John Laney]

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.
