To all RTTY ops: 
This is a reminder thatonce again, the Northern California Contest Club is 
pleased to present ourregular Thursday night (in North America) half hour RTTY 
Sprint, aka the NSRTTY, this Thursday evening. 


Last week, in additionto our many regulars, KH6ZM joined us for what I think 
was the first time, and AC0E and N7VS rejoined us.  NN7SS had a great QRP score 
last week!  Let's all do it again this Thursday.   More good news: ; I had an 
eyeball QSO with K6MR a couple of days ago; I'm hoping that he will be able to 
be with us again soon.


For those of you who arenew to our weekly NS RTTY’s, we use a variation of the 
NCJ’s Sprint QSY rule –1 KHz QSY’s rather than 5 KHz – and allow duplicate 
contacts after oneintervening 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 usingthe popular N1MM+ logger, the contest module to use is 
NSRTTYDUPE.  A goodset of example function keys is in the N1MM+ website's 
function key gallery,and available for free download. 

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

Remember to try 15meters at the beginning of this Thursday night's contest – 15 
has usually beenopen at 0145Z lately, at least for some regions.
