> As a participant of NCJ North American SSB contesting, you have enjoyed the fun and excitement we all share for these competitions in North America.  The NAQP tests are a blast, and we wanted to send a reminder for another NCJ contest, that can be equally fun and take very little from your weekend schedules.
