To all RTTY ops: 

Please join us in this week's half hour NS RTTY(North American Sprint contest, 
RTTY mode, sponsored by the Northern CaliforniaContest Club), this Thursday 
evening local time (Friday 0145Z).  

Many regulars participated last week, plusnewcomer KD7GHZ and almost-newcomer 
N7VS. VE3WVA was heard on 20 meters on the West Coast, but apparently he didn't 
jump into our contest.  Thanks to all of youwho joined us, and we hope to see 
you all on a regular basis! 

For those of you who are new to this contest, weuse a variation of the NCJ’s 
Sprint QSY rule – 1 KHz QSY’s rather than 5 KHz –and allow duplicate contacts 
after one intervening contact.  If you need a full explanation of these 
specialrules, send me an e-mail, and I’ll give you all the details, e.g., a 
precisedefinition of our QSY rule. 

For those of you using the ever popular N1MM+logger, the contest module to use 
is NSRTTYDUPE.  A good set of functionkeys has now been posted to the N1MM+ 
Website's function key gallery.  When you select “File >Open Log in 
Database>Associated Files >Digital Key Filename”, click on the "Change"button, 
and N1MM+ will prompt you to automatically download and assign theappropriate 
function key file, which is called “NSRTTYDUPE.MC”.  Be sure to put your own 
callsign into thisfile, and tailor it to your personal operating preferences. 
The reason forthe “NOT YET” message in the F11 key is to tell a caller that 
you’d really loveto work them, but you can’t do it yet, in view of our “one 
intervening contact”rule. 

After the contest, please remember to submit yourscores to www.3830scores.com.  
It’s easy – on 3830, the name of thiscontest is “NCCC RTTY Sprint”.  
Reportingyour score, whether it be big or small, helps build enthusiasm for 
this event. Thatin turn increases participation for future editions, which 
benefits all of us. 

Remember to try 15 meters at the beginning ofthis Thursday night's contest – 15 
has often been open at 0145Z lately.
