For some reason, the formatting in my previous post was not good and made it
unreadable. Here is another try...
The proposed rules for a weekly SSB event are listed below. While the start
date is TBD, please send me an email (NW2K@arrl.net) with comments/suggestions
and let me know if you're inclined to participate. Should be great for
fast-paced NAQP practice and welcoming new contesters of all skill levels.
Thank you, 73, Dean, NW2K
