Once I suggested there be another Thursday Sprint at some other time which
might attract more participants, maybe even some DX. Widen the stage a
little. I'm not sure what the best time would be. We might learn that from
watching the CWops Wednesday events.
While the dupe rule's an oddity, I'm OK with it although I usually made so
few contacts that often I didn't have an intervening QSO.
That didn't matter since I participated in the Thursday evening Sprints to
get my weekly RTTY fix and learn sprinting in order to do the real
NA-Sprint contests.
That ended when I found out the latter allowed high power. It was
suggested that toward the end of the NA-Sprint contests I would still be sought
after when all the big boys had worked each other out. Maybe.
The dregs of the ether.

Dick has been very successful in the past, so I think his problems were
propagation related last night.
But as I put in every weekly announcement, I (and NCCC) welcome comments
and suggestions on how to improve turnout. We do have some limitations
(like non-interference with the CW NS) and I understand that Sprint format is
not the most popular. Everyone is welcome to post their suggestions (if
Bill doesn’t mind the extra traffic on here) and we can openly hash it out.
Don’t be bashful, the worst that can happen is we don’t do it. I’m
certainly open to a public discussion of any ideas. The CW NS has 2X – 3X
more
activity, so it is possible to get people interested. Bill had some
suggestions that I wasn’t keen about, but if the larger group would like to
try
something different I’m not opposed to experimentation.
So everyone do some thinking and let’s hear your ideas.

REPLY:
Something needs to be done to make the NS RTTY more attractive to
RTTY'ers. Several months ago I submitted a few suggestions to the
sponsor but he declined to adopt them.
Would everybody please put on their thinking cap and see what you can
come up with. Post them here or send them directly to K6MR.
Thank you,
73, Bill W6WRT
