[SESprint] Announcement: NA Sprint SSB Saturday Night

[John Laney]

Doesn't anyone want to be on a team for NA Sprint SSB Saturday night? 
Let me know ASAP and I'll register a team or teams.  73, John, K4BAI.



     Dear fellow ham radio operator,

     Thank you for your past support of the NA SSB Sprint contest!  We 
hope you enjoyed it.  Whether you made 3 or 300 QSOs in one of the last 
few Sprints, your participation was very much appreciated. The SSB 
Sprint contest is now at record-setting participation levels, making for 
a very fun and exciting 4 hour event!  But we need to maintain that 
momentum.

     We hope you will be on for the next SSB Sprint event, which is this 
Saturday evening (October 9, 2016 0000-0400 UTC, which is October 8th 
locally).  Please pass this along to your club or anyone else you think 
would enjoy participating.

     As you may remember, the exchange is simply callsign, serial 
number, name and state/province/territory/country.  This is the contest 
where if you call someone and work them, then following that QSO YOU get 
the frequency until you work someone else, then that next station gets 
the frequency, etc.  Of course you can choose to QSY without working 
another station there and you can always call CQ on a clear frequency.

     You don't have to send in your log, but if you do, you might come 
away with one of the door prizes that will be drawn from among all of 
the entrants with a score of at least 1,500 points (which is 50 QSOs 
with 30 multipliers).

     Also, if you do plan to operate and if you have not already done 
so, if you have a moment please let us know that you plan to be on at 
http://ssbsprint.com/planned-activity/my-planned-activity/.  This helps 
us be sure that we will have all states and provinces on the air again 
for this event.

     You can check out all of the details on the http://ssbsprint.com 
website.  You will find complete rules, previous results, all-time 
records, door prize listings, etc.
