Hell all: I am putting together a team or teams for Saturday night's
SSB Sprint Contest. It runs 8 PM to midnight Eastern time Saturday
night local date (0000-0359Z Sunday). It is only on 20, 40, and 80M
SSB. Exchange is both calls, #, name, SPC. Teams of two to five
members can be pre registered. So far, I have three: K4BAI, KU8E, and
N4EEV. I hope we can get at least two more to fill out one team. Please
let me know ASAP if you can participate. It would be very nice to have
at least one station from AL and one from SC to be QRV to give out those
rare multipliers. Rules and details can be obtained from the WA7BNM
Contest Calendar among other places.
Because of the 5/1 kHz QSY rule, this sprint cannot have one strong
station sitting and running on a frequency. After one QSO that results
from solicitation (CQ or QRZ), the station must QSY one kHz to call
another station and 5 kHz to call CQ again. This will keep us on our
toes and we will all have to both CQ and S&P for QSOs. If you will give
the information in this order, those listening will know who will keep
the frequency:
You have sent CQ or QRZ and gotten an answer: W6OAT K4BAI #1 JOHN GA.
You have answered someone else's call for a QSO: W6OAT #1 JOHN GA K4BAI.
So, the station sending his call at the end of the exchange will stay on
the frequency and answer callers if there are any or CQ on the
frequency. Of course, if you get no answers, you will move to find
another CQing station to to call CQ yourself.
Thanks and 73, John, K4BAI.
