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,

to see everyone again this week.
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 aftermaking at least one intervening contact. If you need a
fullexplanation of these special rules, send me an e-mail, and I’ll give you
allthe details, e.g., a precise 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”.

benefits all ofus.
