To all RTTY ops:
This is a reminder thatonce again, the Northern California Contest Club is
pleased to present ourregular weekly half hour RTTY Sprint, aka the NS RTTY,
this Thursday eveningNorth America time. Stations from other continents are
also welcome to join us.
We had a sparse crowdlast week. Let’s see if we can do betterthis week. Not
everyone reported their score to 3830 last week. After the contest, please
remember to submityour score to www.3830scores.com. It’s easy – on 3830, the
name of thiscontest is “NCCC RTTY Sprint”. Reporting your score, whether it
bebig or small, helps build enthusiasm for this event. That in turn
increasesparticipation for future editions, which benefits all of us.
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.
Remember to QSY afteryou’ve made a contact that you‘ve solicited, and also
remember to give bothcallsigns as part of the exchange.
For those of you usingthe popular N1MM+ logger, the contest module to use is
NSRTTYDUPE. A goodset of sample function keys is in the N1MM+ website's
function key gallery,and available for free download.
