==> UPCOMING CONTESTS -- THINGS TO DO
The NCJ CW Sprint <http://ncjweb.com/Sprint-Rules.pdf> is this weekend
beginning at 2300 UTC on Saturday, February 5. This is one hour earlier
than the September Sprint that began at 0000 UTC. The contest is still
four hours long and will end at 0300 UTC on February 6th (Saturday
evening). Don't miss the starting bell! This one-hour shift should
allow more use of 20 meters and help smaller stations make more
contacts.
-Thanks to Ward Silver, N0AX, NCJ CW Sprint Manager

proud to announce that the 28th Annual Dayton Contest Dinner will be

==> WORD TO THE WISE
Sprint
A short contest that emphasizes frequency agility. The original Sprint
contest is the North American Sprint
<https://ncjweb.com/north-american-sprint/>, held in February and
September of each year, sponsored by the National Contest Journal
<https://ncjweb.com/>.
The most unique aspect of Sprint contests is the QSY rule - when a
CQing station receives a response, they must QSY and leave the
frequency to the calling station once they conclude their QSO. Most
Sprints do not allow the "running" of stations on a single frequency
that is characteristic of most other contests.
==> RESULTS AND RECORDS
Jim Stahl, K8MR, the Ohio QSO Party Chairman, has announced that the
results of the 2021 Ohio QSO Party are now available at the OhQP web
site <http://www.ohqp.org>.
Jim would like to extend his thanks to all of those who took part, and
hopes you'll all be back again for the 2022 OhQP on Saturday, August
27.
The Raw Scores for the 2022 ARRL RTTY Roundup
<http://www.arrl.org/rtty-roundup> and 2022 ARRL January VHF Contest
<http://www.arrl.org/january-vhf> are now available at
contests.arrl.org <http://contests.arrl.org>. Select the contest that
you'd like to view the Raw Scores for on the left hand navigation of
the page, and then select "Raw Scores." Participants should check their
scores to make sure that they are entered in the correct category. If
any errors are found, contact the ARRL Contest Manager at
contests@arrl.org.
That's all for this time. Remember to send contesting-related stories,
book reviews, tips, techniques, press releases, errata, schematics,
club information, pictures, stories, blog links, and predictions to
