OK you rate junkies: here's your chance. This week's NS RTTY session will
return to practice format which includes DUPES! So let's see those big Q
numbers!
Before the details, a quick recap of the five Ladder sessions just completed.
Participation was a little underwhelming, although the last session perked up
no doubt due to the big Sprint on the following Saturday.
The final results are listed at
http://www.ncccsprint.com/scores-NSL-RTTY-02.html
A shout out goes to the following for the top scores in their respective
division:
East Central division: VE3KI
Atlantic division: N3QE
West division: K7TQ for LP, with NN7SS close behind (score wise) in the QRP
category.
West Central division: WD0T
NCCC in CA/NV: N6RO
Overall winner: N6RO (who really pulled out all the stops in the final
session).
A big thank you to everyone who participated, whether it was one session or all
five.
With a whole year to build participation let's get this show on the road:
-- 80m, 40m, and 20m: +80 kHz and up from the bottom. We'll wait until after
winter to try 15M again.
-- Same-band dupes ok after one intervening QSO
-- 1 kHz QSY rule for both calling and answering CQs.
-- Same time:
-- 0145 to 0215Z Oct 17 (Thursday night Oct 16 in NA)
-- 6:45-7:15 PM PDT
-- 9:45-10:15 PM EDT, etc.
-- 100W, other Sprint rules apply.

Diddle diddle!
