sorry.. updated UTC dates in this revision
****Announcing the NCCC's (Northern California Contest Club) weekly Thursday
night running of the SNS , The cw sprint for the rest of us! ****
Check the SNS website out at
http://www.ncccsprint.com/sns.html
Please wait just a split second on jump balls ("ns" talk for several stations
answering a CQ). Please be aware of the fact that there are stations just
getting acclimated to sprinting, and can be easily intimidated so keep a sharp
friendly ear, and maybe let a station inheriting a frequency throw out a cq
prior to calling them.
Please keep your speed to between 18 to 26 WPM. Stations running on the
higher side of this please be willing to QRS for some of the slower operators.
Remember we are trying to welcome new sprinters to our ranks!
As usual We will be preceding NSL XII (A fantastic warm up for all, see
notes from N6ZFO), with a 10 minute break prior. So for now, the Slow Speed NS
is from 0200z to 0220z 16 Sept 2011 lets keep it strict and the timing
prescision, since the ladder competition is going on.
Frequencies:
20 m 14037-14043
40 m 7040-7047
80 m 3537-3543
its a bit early for 160, so lets not go there for now.
POWER: 100 watt limit.
If you don't hear a CQ, send a CQ and don't worry about the couplet since this
is only practice and hopefully an introduction to sprints for newbies. I think
stations might answer a CQ more likely than call CQ themselves. With that said
remember that newbies are listening to get up the nerve to jump in so don't
hesitate to make Q's.
The SNS, NS and NS Ladder and the NCCC/NS Net on 3610 immediately following at
0300 are all part of the "Thursday night contesting" experience sponsored by
the Northern California Contest Club!
