Hi All,

NA Sprint SSB Contest Log 1.0 is Now Available!

Just in time for tomorrow's contest, NA Sprint SSB Contest Log 1.0 is now available! As I detailed on Wednesday, NCJ has dropped support for the SSB version of NA Sprint and a new group has taken over its support. The new group made significant, last minute rule changes that only firmed up on Wednesday, requiring me to write an entirely new program to support their SSB version of the contest. You'll find complete details on the new contest here: http://ssbsprint.com/

As always, additional programs I add to the N3FJP Software package are free to package subscribers. In addition, this program is also free to those that have previously registered my existing NA Sprint software. Just use the same password for either the new NA Sprint SSB version or the existing CW / RTTY version. You can download the software here:

Kudos to Contest Supporters / Developers & Encouragement for More!

I'd like to commend the NA SSB Sprint group for their efforts and encourage everyone, (individuals and clubs) to brainstorm and implement fun, engaging Amateur Radio operating events. If you've tuned in on a contest weekend or payed attention to the success of last year's 365 day ARRL Centennial QSO party, you know that an engaging, well crafted set of challenges is tremendous fun and a big part of what makes Amateur Radio thrive.

A few of us here are working on a year long, State / County QSO Party contest, but there are many other possibilities too! In an upcoming club meeting, schedule some time to brainstorm some Amateur Radio challenges with your group and craft some rules around your ideas. It could be a few hour sprint, a weekend contest or a year long event. It could be something that only your club membership pursues or it could become even more popular than the Centennial QSO Party! Imagine the possibilities and make it happen!

And in response to the questions we always receive when we neglect to include the following in our e-mail announcements...

Package Upgrade Information...

If you have registered one or more individual programs and would like to upgrade to N3FJP's Software Package or N3FJP's Software Package and CD for full use of all our Amateur Radio software, we would be glad to apply the amount that you have registered so far as a credit towards that purchase. Please send us an e-mail directly and we'll let you know your balance.

N3FJP's Software Package includes approximately 50 programs for contesting, net management, general logging and other Amateur Radio related applications. In addition to full use of all these programs, registered package customers are also entitled to receive free passwords for any new software that is added to the package and free upgrades to existing programs. You'll find all the details on the Register Now page at www.n3fjp.com.

Donations are Gratefully Accepted!

And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly and I are very grateful...

"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation for your continued efforts?"

Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome and deeply appreciated! You can use this page:
