[SECC] NCCC RTTY Sprint Practice Tonight

The  30 minute RTTY sprint practice continues on Thursday, one hour 
before the CW NS Ladder this week.

Participation has been falling off lately, but still interesting with 
the DUPES OK rule.  With NAQP RTTY coming up
this weekend, this practice might help get your station/software tweaked.

Next NS-RY:  0130 to 0200Z, July 19;  Thursday night in NA, 630 PM PDST, 
etc.
*To pump up the activity, DUPEs are OK, after one intervening QSO on any 
band.
And, 15m has been open for the past few weeks, so let's start there, 80m 
for locals in last two minutes.
100w max.

*Slow speed CW NS continues at 0200Z for 15 minutes.

These 30 minute practices are  for experienced sprinters on cw to learn 
a new mode,
and for RTTY contesters to learn the sprint format.  Also a chance
to try out the newly popular 2Tone decoder.

There are two main differences between the NCCC Sprints and NA Sprint:
In NS, power is usually limited to 100w, and *mults count on all bands.
*For this upcoming RY practice, use 80, 40, 20, 15m;  up 80+ Khz. from 
the bottom of the band.

You need two different messages in sprint, one when acquiring a 
frequency:  N6TR  245 KEN CA N6RO;
in a different order when vacating the freq.:  N8EA N6RO 246 KEN CA.
This let's others know who is acquiring the freq.

NS rules at: http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html
<http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html>These apply for the RTTY practice 
sprints.

Thanks to WA7BNM/N7WA for providing the 3830 score reporting each week.

If you want the Sprint RTTY practices to continue, vote by showing up 
each Thursday.

Unfortunately, I will not get home in time from music gigs to play NS 
this week.

Thursday Night Diddler, N6RO
