[SEDXC] NCCC NS Ladder Competition Begins Next Week

Fri Mar 27 05:48:49 PDT 2009

For everyone's information, I am copying below the N6ZFO report from the 
NCCC NA Sprint Practice Session Last Night because it gives a preview of 
this year's NS Ladder competion which begins next week.  These sessions 
are for 30 minutes each Thursday night local time, 0230-0259Z UTC, 
Friday.  They are a lot of fun and the prizes are great (my wife and I 
enjoyed every drop of the wine awarded from the N6RO vineyard a few 
years back).  These 30 minute sessions are the highlight of each 
contesting week for me even though I don't have the SO2R setup like I 
did when I won the East of MS category a few years ago.  I will 
regularly forward announcements to the SECC and ACG reflectors.  They 
are also posted to cq-contest.  If you are interested and receive this, 
but do not subscribe to the SECC, ACG, or cq-contest relfectors, let me 
know and I will add you to the notice I forward each week.  See you all 
this weekend from NQ4I on all bands multi-multi in CQ WPX SSB.   Any of 
our stations can give you the frequencies on the other bands and we'd 
like to work you all (even US stations) on each of the six bands.

Comments:

Great turnout tonight and lots of juicy mults, many of which I missed (e.g. NH).
 Good to see KZ5D providing LA and to hear Bill, K0UK back in the fray again.

I'm pleased to report that we finally are able to ship wine to MT and TN, so a
selection of two CA wines from the Steele Winery in Kelseyville, CA (new home
of N6ZFO) is on its way to K7SS, N9RV and W4NZ. [N6RO will receive his wine in
person at some point].   It's actually a double prize this year, a Steele 2006
Merlot -- Best of Class in the SF Chronicle's 2009 tasting, and an interesting
Lake County Syrah Port also from the Steele Winery.  Grapes for the Syrah Port
likely came from our neighbor Sarah Dorn's vineyard.  At some point, the prizes
may come from the N6ZFO winery, but that will take a few years more.

Ladder competition begins next Thursday night. Full details tomorrow on CQ
Contest Refl, but the differences from last year are the following:

1) 14 Ladder weeks ending Aug 7.  Best 9 scores counted toward awards (but
fewer in Newcomers Division)
2) Divisions slightly different this year:
       -- Newcomers Division will be selected by the participant instead of
being assigned bythe (overworked) Contest director.  BTW, it's fine to consider
yourself a newcomer if your previous participation has been very light. . . for
ex if you've only done one or two NS Ladder weeks in the past couple years. 
       -- The NCCC Division formerly included only NCCC members in CA/NV. This
year, an NCCC member anywhere will be in the NCCC division. [main effect is on
K7SS and W7SW]
3) Bands are 20, 40 and 80 only, NO 160 this year (separate 160, 80, 40 event
in the fall).

Please encourage your friends to join this snappy contest, perhaps getting
their feet wet with the SNS, which will continue throughout the Ladder
Competition 30 mins earlier.

Top competitors should always be scheming to win the NS X Prize, first 3000-
point score in a single half hour ladder competition.  NCJ subscription
courtesy the Locust, K6VVA.

Note: Ladder is always 100 watts or less.
