NS Rules
Note
These are the "nominal" NS rules and may be modified on a weekly basis. Refer
to the Next NS web page for details on any modifications for a given week.
Time
* 0230-0300 UTC Fridays (Thursday evening NA time, DST ignored).
Note: NS begins at exactly 0230. A participant may not respond to a CQ
or it's equivalent more than 30.00 minutes later -- 0300. In other words, if
the soliciting station receives and sends the call sign of the responding
station before 30.00 minutes after the start, then the QSO can be completed and
counted. Otherwise, not.
Frequencies (kHz)
* 1810-1820 (when used in NS)
* 14030-14045 (avoid W1AW at 14047.5)
* 7030-7045 (avoid W1AW at 7047.5 and PSK at 7038)
* 3530-3545
Exchange
* Serial number
* Name
* QTH (US state, Canadian Province or DX country)
Rules
NCJ NA CW Sprint rules with the following modifications:
* Rules modified to NAQP rules:
o NAQP multipliers, i.e., KH6 is an additional multiplier
o Multipliers count once per band
o 100 watts or less power
o Scoring is total QSOs times sum of multipliers on each band
* 1kHz QSY rule for both calling and answering CQs
* The same station can be worked multiple times provided 1 contact
separates the contact in both logs on the same band. Back-to-back contacts on
different bands are OK.
* 30-minute contest period (see Time above)
* Use of Skimmer or Packet not permitted
Reporting
* Post to the 3830 reflector via the 3830 submittal web page for the NS
Ladder Competition within 48 hours after the NS. Direct posting to N6ZFO is
also acceptable.
Guidelines
* Reduce CW speed for slower stations
* When N6RO works N6ZFO, N6RO may have had the required intervening QSO but
not N6ZFO. N6ZFO could respond with "NIQ" (no intervening QSO), "LTR" (for
Later), "NO" or "AS".
Software
* Use either the NA CW Sprint or Internet Sprint module of your favorite
logging program, making sure it allows duplicates to be worked and logged, even
though they may not be included in the computed score.
* If your logging software cannot add band-multipliers and/or legal dupes
to the score computation, then some manual post-contest work will be necessary
to get the total score.
* N1MM Logger, TR-Log, Win-Test and WriteLog handle NS completely,
including proper score computation. Details are available on the NS Software
web page, along with specific information on other popular contest loggers. If
you can enhance this information, please contact W0YK.
