AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR NAQCC SPRINTS:

If you have been hesitant to give ham radio contesting a try you really should consider our NAQCC sprints.  Our sprints are specifically tailored to help new CW operators get their first contesting experience.  Our most popular operating category is for using a straight key and this automatically keeps the CW speeds relatively low.  Additionally the exchange is simple and virtually everyone operating in the sprint is more than willing to slow down or give repeats.  Once the sprint is over we make log submission easy with our automated Autologger page.

Although scores are posted on our website and award certificates are issued, the real goal of our sprints is not to win something.  It’s to have FUN while promoting CW QRP operating.  EVERYONE who participates in the sprint is a WINNER, and in keeping with this philosophy we have a drawing each month for a nice prize that all of our member participants are entered into.  It doesn’t matter if you made 1 QSO or 100 QSOs, everyone has a chance to win the prize.
