The NS Ladder Competition takes a three week break for various 
reasons, but the diehards want something each week.
  So:  NCCC PRACTICE SPRINT continues this week, May 15, local date 
in North America;  May 16, UTC.
Note the new (provisional) 2 Khz. QSY rule, which K6VVA suggests 
could help us all to get more QSOs.

Usual NS rules this week. --30 mins   0230-03Z  (all NCCC practice 
sessions will be the same LOCAL START time, year round, UFN)
-- Start 0230Z (1930 PST, 2030 MST, 2130 CST 2230 EST)

This Thursday, use  NS (NCCC Sprint) rules using FOUR bands:
BANDS:   20, 40, 80, 160m: --  14040, 7040, 3540, 1815  +/-5.   SPREAD OUT
-- CW only, LOW POWER, dupes allowed after 1 intervening Q, 2 KHz 
QSY  (NEW RULE).

Slow speed NS (SNS) from 0200 to 0215Z, 20m and 40m.  OK Mike?

The  schedule of Thursday (sometimes Friday also) events through 
Summer 2008,  is posted on the NEXT NS page at:
http://www.ncccsprint.com/next_ns.htm
  LADDER COMPETITION, resumes on June 6.

General rules and further info at: http://www.ncccsprint.com/

-- Report scores and critique the NS near 3610 LSB after the 
practice,  at 0300Z (8 PM PST) on
the weekly NCCC/NS net). If you would like different formats for 
Thursday Night Madness, this is the forum to discuss your ideas.
Best score reporting is to 3830 Score posting page (thanks to WA7BNM & N7WA).

Next week, May 23, more NS practice.  That following weekend is 
Memorial Day, not May 30-31, per ZFO.......... Practice NS both weeks.

CU,  N6RO
