NAQCC Sprint Wednesday night!

Our November sprint is this coming Wednesday evening local time (November 14, 
EST - 8:30-10:30PM, CST - 7:30-9:30PM, MST - 6:30-8:30PM, PST - 5:30-7:30PM), 
which translates as Thursday November 15, 0130-0330Z in all cases.

I will refer you to the proper URL:

http://naqcc.info/sprint201211.html

There you will find all the details as to time, frequencies and other important 
information.

Certificates: SWA (simple wire antennas) certificates by call area, VE and DX 
for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers (New!).  A Certificate for top score in 
the GAIN antenna category.  Starting in November we are adding an extra 
category called SPECIAL for those folks.  If that description fits you, you 
will be able to select that division and compete against others in the same 
situation.  That will be taken care of via our autologger.  As with the other 
categories and divisions, we'll also award a 2nd and 3rd place certificate 
according to the same criteria.

Prizes:  Too many to list!! - We're making a change in our prize drawing for 
the sprints.  Here's a quote from the prizes page, under the main section, on 
the web site:
"Beginning with the November 2012 sprint, a winner will be notified as soon as 
one is chosen.  Then the first to reply gets the first choice of a prize. 
Before that we went by order of sprints.  In other words, the June winner had 
to wait for the May winner to make his choice, etc.  Now it's first response, 
first choice no matter what month.  That way those who take forever to answer 
won't hold up those who are eager to get their prize.  If someone doesn't reply 
at all by the end of the following month, there will be a re-drawing to choose 
a replacement winner for that sprint, and the one who didn't reply becomes 
ineligible for any future drawings.  For example, the June winner has until the 
end of July to respond."

This is a monthly event that caters to the CW veteran, the CW newcomer, 
straight key and bug fans.  All are welcome to participate (this includes QRO); 
but you must use QRP power levels to compete for awards.
