This Thursday, we'll revive the Grandfather of NS, the INTERNET SPRINT. 
This was a two hour, two band sprint invented by N6TR, and it ran for a 
couple of years in the '90s; AUG. 28 local date in North America; Aug. 
29 UTC.

Rules are basically those of NS, but with THREE INTERVENING QSOs before 
duping on the same band, 20 and 40m only. 

1Khz QSY before calling, 5 Khz before CQing.

-- Start 0230Z (1930 PDT, 2030 MDT, 2130 CDT 2230 EDT)

Modified NS RULES: DUPES OK on same band with THREE INTERVENING QSOs, 
100 watts max.  (Note that this means a "legal dupe" is the FOURTH QSO 
after you worked the station the first time on the same band.)

BANDS: 20 & 40m, 14035-14045, 7035-7040, mults count on both bands.

The SLOW SPEED CW NS practice continues: 02-0215Z on Thursday; 20, 40, 
80m CW, dupes OK with ONE intervening QSO.
