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.
This will be good practicefor the NAQP RTTY contest that will take place this
coming Saturday. The bands have been in great shape lately, socome join us!
Last week, we welcomednewcomer NA6JD, and welcomed back KO6M (King Of 6
Mountains), who has been inthis contest several times before under his old
call, W6DMW.
For those of you who arenew to our weekly NS RTTY’s, we use a variation of the
NCJ Sprint’s QSY rule –1 KHz QSY’s rather than 5 KHz – and allow same band
duplicate contacts on the same band after making at least one intervening
contact. If you need a full explanation of thesespecial rules, send me an
e-mail, and I’ll give you all the details, e.g., aprecise definition of our QSY
rule.
Remember to QSY afteryou’ve made a contact that you‘ve solicited, and that both
callsigns arerequired as part of the exchange.
After the contest,please remember to submit your score 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.
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,available for free download.
