Report scores using fom at http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/ , directly to 3830@contesting.com or to n6zfo.

Rules: See www.ncccsprint.com

Logging: After deciding to use " Your first call" in place of name, we discovered that this change can cause both WL and TR Log to balk. Ed, W0YK, has the fixes for WL and TR Log on the NS web page at http://www.ncccsprint.com/software.htm Do the best you can . . we'll consider a return to the traditional Name next week if there are complaints. Remember the first and most important rule of NS is "Have FUN", and we're dead serious about that.

Score calculation: Howie, N4AF, kindly updated NS Score Calculator to version 1.15 to accommodate this year's more liberal dupe allowance. see http://www.ncccsprint.com/ns_score.htm

The NS Ladder has a dedicated and expanding fan-base ... we'd love to have you join. A great and quick contest entertainment for Thursday night, and the family probably won't notice you've disappeared for a while.

See you on Thursday. Questions/comments to Bill n6zfo hounds1234@comcast.net

73 and good luck,

Bill N6ZFO/6

You can work the same station multipletimes per band if there are three intervening QSOs with other stations inBOTH logs between the legal dupes. For the mathematical attorneys, "threeintervening QSOs" means you can work the same station as often as everyFOURTH QSO. As always, any illegal dupes are removed from your log in logchecking with no penalty.In keeping with the Sprint spirit, preliminary log checking results will beposted on the NCJ web site within 14 days after the event.
