To all RTTY ops:
This is a reminder thatonce again, the Northern California Contest Club is
pleased to present ourregular weekly half hour RTTY Sprint, aka the NS RTTY,
this Thursday evening(North America time).
Last week, we werepleased to welcome newcomer KN6TZK, plus KF9VV for his second
time. And former regulars N0TA and WQ5L joined inthe fun. We hope to see all
of you everyweek!
This week’s NS RTTY willbe the last one this Fall when we are still on Daylight
Savings Time. More on that in next week’s announcement.
For those of you who arenew to our weekly NS RTTY’s, we use a variation of the
NCJ’s Sprint QSY rule –1 KHz QSY’s rather than 5 KHz – and allow duplicate
contacts after oneintervening contact. If you need a full explanation of these
specialrules, send me an e-mail, and I’ll give you all the details, e.g., a
precisedefinition of our QSY rule.
For those of you usingthe popular N1MM+ logger, the contest module to use is
NSRTTYDUPE. A goodset of example function keys is in the N1MM+ website's
function key gallery,and available for free download.
After the contest,please remember to submit your scores to www.3830scores.com.
It’s easy –on 3830, the name of this contest is “NCCC RTTY Sprint”.
Reportingyour score, whether it be big or small, helps build enthusiasm for
this event.That in turn increases participation for future editions, which
benefits all ofus.
