Ok so about that @nerd NAQCC is a radio club, the North American QRP CW Club. It's a no-dues low power morse code ham radio club. You get a number to pass. A sprint is a timed window to make as many contacts and exchange data as you can, there's points associated, The rest is just dates and times, we use Zulu time (universal time) as we're all in different time zones. So in NY it's 8:33 PM Eastern Daylight Savings Time now, and that's 20:33 EDT in 24 hour time, and in 00:33z in universal time. I like to post SKCC stuff too and they are another no-dues radio morse code (CW) club, Straight Key Century Club. helpful?
