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.

New to Sprints or need a refresher? Ed (W0YK/P49X) wrote an excellent article 
in his NCJ column that explains the how and why of the Sprint format. For 
non-subscribers the article can be found here:

For general RTTY contesting and setup info don't forget AA5AU's excellent site:

And don't forget 3610 kHz @ 0300Z for an informal get together and recap of the 
evening. Bring your questions and comments, all input welcome.


Diddle diddle!
