A last-minute reminder of our NAQCC 160 meters sprint coming up tonight.
Here is the date and time for our current sprint. Other details can be found
via the links below.
Thursday January 26 from 8:30 to 10:30 PM EDT (Friday January 27 from 0130Z
to 0330Z)
We welcome our new NAQCC special sprints (mW and 160M) manager Ki VA3PEN. He
will be doing all the work involved with updating the results and soapboxes
on the web site results page.
We do not do any log cross-checking for our special sprints, but still do
require them to be submitted just like in our regular monthly sprints.
If you've been hesitant to join in our sprints because you hear other
sprints running at breakneck speeds, have no fear. Our sprints are geared to
the newcomer to CW and/or contesting. Virtually everyone including the many
veteran contesters who regularly enter our sprints will slow down to YOUR
speed to help you make your contacts
Rules specific to this month's 160M sprint are available via:
http://naqcc.info/contests.html
General Sprint Rules that apply to all our sprints are at:
http://naqcc.info/sprint_rules.html
We hope you use the GenLog logging program for our sprints. It makes logging
very simple for you and log cross-checking simple for us. You can get the
program, the latest data file (naqcc.dat) for the program and instructions
on how to use it via the General Sprint Rules. There is also a thorough
tutorial on using GenLog that includes many screen captures. It's at
http://naqcc.info/sprint_genlog_tutorial.html if you need it.
After the sprint, use our Autologger to make submitting your report and log
as easy as possible:

We award a maximum of 13 certificates for each mW or 160M sprint. One to the
winner in each of the 10 USA call areas, one to the Canadian winner, and one
to the DX winner. If there are any entrants in our GAIN category (unlikely
on 160M), the winner there gets the 13th certificate. When our NAQCC
Chapters get organized, we hope to have competition among them for a
certificate for the top aggregate chapter score.
We also often award a prize of some sort donated by the club or one of our
members to the winner of a random drawing among all who participate and send
in a report.
Curious about how you did in each of our past sprints, want to check up on
how your 'rivals' did, or want to see the results of a specific sprint? You
can now do all of that at http://naqcc.info/contests.html.
