IMPORTANTCHANGE

IMPORTANT - please read thoroughly.

A last-minute reminder of our NAQCC sprint coming up tonight:

Tuesday October 12 at 8:30 to 10:30 PM EDT (Wednesday October 13 at
0030Z to 
0230Z)

Because of the possibility of severe pile-up QRM from the PJ DXpedition 
whose band-plan includes operations on much of the available space on
all 
ham bands, we are changing our frequencies for this month's sprint. Next

month it's back to normal.

Here are the frequencies we should use tonight:
80 meters - normal as there is no PJ activity listed in our segment of 
3555-3565
40 meters - 7100-7120
20 meters - 14100-14110

You might also check the regular 40 and 20 meter frequencies for those
who 
don't read this email or check the web site rules or whose rigs don't
cover 
this month's frequencies.

Won't you participate and report your results so we can go over 100 logs
for 
the sixth straight month. That will make a powerful statement about CW
to 
the ham radio world.

Rules specific to this month's sprint are available via:

http://home.windstream.net/yoel/contests.html

General Sprint Rules that apply to all our sprints are at:

http://home.windstream.net/yoel/sprint_rules.html

If you're new to our sprints or just need to refresh your memory, please

read all the rules and understand them thoroughly to make things easy
for 
you and for us.

Remember because of the wonderful participation, we now divide the SWA 
category by the 10 USA call areas, Canada, and DX. That means a maximum
of 
12 certificates and even more equitable competition since you only
compete 
with those in your call area to win something. The GAIN category remains

unchanged.

We hope you use the GenLog logging program for our sprints. It makes
logging 
very simple for you and log cross-checking simple for us. You can get
the 
program, the latest data file for the program and instructions on how to
use 
it via the General Sprint Rules.

After the sprint, use our Autologger to make submitting your report and
log 
as easy as possible:

http://home.windstream.net/yoel/sprint_submit_log.html

All who participate in our sprints and submit a log are entered into a 
drawing for a nice prize. Our sprints are user-friendly to those new to
ham 
radio contesting. Don't be afraid to join in the fun. You may just
decide 
you like contesting and pursue it further. Several of our members have 
started with our sprints and gone on to be very good contesters. A 
certificate goes to the member submitting a log for the very first time
and 
having the highest score among those doing so.

Tips for successful sprinting can be found at:

http://home.windstream.net/yoel/sprint_tips.html

We hope you will join in and help us set yet another new record for 
participation. I'll be there for sure. Will you?
