Greetings Diddlers:

An even dozen diddlers last week, a good turnout any time.  Low band conditions 
are still not too good, but 40 sounded more like a Saturday evening than a 
Thursday.  15 has been productive during the CW NS, but signals are likely 
still a little too puny for RTTY.  But don’t forget to take a quick listen at 
the start and see what might pop up.
I was a bit premature about the live score problem with N1MM logger.  Messages 
have been flying regarding how to fix the reporting problem, so standby for a 
fix.  We had a few stations connected so it is working, hopefully all you N1MM 
users will be connected soon.  Writelog and DXLog are working fine so far.
The weekend (at least Saturday) has the NAQP CW as top billing, so to keep 
those diddles in tune please join us Thursday evening.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  4 Aug 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 3 Aug 2017 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Not sure this will be productive)
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge  (start checking those higher 
bands!)
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band
-- 100W power limit

Please visit http://www.ncccsprint.com/rttyns.html for complete rules and links 
to other info. If you find any problems with the web pages, please let me know 
so we can get them fixed.
If you would like to receive all the latest info about NS as well as a have a 
place for comments and questions, sign up for the NS mailing list:  
http://www.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/nccc-blue
As noted above, give the live scoreboard a try at contestonlinescore.com, and 
select the NCCC NA RTTY SPRINT to display the scores.  The Help menu pulldown 
will give you the info needed to setup the most common logging programs.
Don’t forget to report your score to 3830scores.com, and join us at 0300Z on 
3610 kHz (+/- a few for ongoing groups) for comments and questions (and dinner 
menus).

Diddle diddle,

Ken K6MR
