Greetings Diddlers:
Conditions last week were less than stellar to be sure, but we had a good
turnout. Looks like 20m is down for the count, but 80 and 160 sound better.
So some operating changes may be in order.
The upcoming weekend is SS CW of course, with a few other smaller tests around
the edges. WAE RTTY will be the following weekend, so don’t put your RTTY
setup to sleep just yet.
Don’t forget that DST is going away next Sunday, so except for the lucky KH6s
and 7s in Arizona our sessions will be earlier (local time) starting November 9.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday, 3 Nov 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 2 Nov 2017 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- 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

For something new (and exciting?), give the live scoreboard a try at
https://contestonlinescore.com <https://contestonlinescore.com/> . Set up your
logger to report and select the NCCC NA RTTY SPRINT on the web page 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
