Adding fifteen meters should increase the fun factor. See you all there at
0130Z.

 The  30 minute RTTY sprint practice continues on Thursday, one hour before
the CW NS Ladder this week.

Next NS-RY:  0130 to 0200Z, May 10;  Thursday night in NA, 630 PM PDST,
etc.
*To pump up the activity, DUPEs are OK, after one intervening QSO on any
band.
And, 15m was open last week, so let's add that band to the mix.

*These 30 minute practices are  for experienced sprinters on cw to learn a
new mode,
and for RTTY contesters to learn the sprint format.  Also a chance
to try out the newly popular 2Tone decoder.

There are two main differences between the NCCC Sprints and NA Sprint:
In NS, power is usually limited to 100w, and *mults count on all bands.
*For this upcoming practice, use 80, 40, 20, 15m;  up 80+ Khz. from the
bottom of the band.

You need two different messages in sprint, one when acquiring a frequency:
N6TR  245 KEN CA N6RO;
in a different order when vacating the freq.:  N8EA N6RO 246 KEN CA.
This let's others know who is acquiring the freq.

NS rules at: http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html
These apply for the RTTY practice sprints.

Thanks to WA7BNM/N7WA for providing the 3830 score reporting each week.

If you want the Sprint RTTY practices to continue, vote by showing up each
Thursday.

Thursday Night Diddler, N6RO
