Greetings Diddlers:
Well I’m not sure if it’s a record for recent NS RTTY sessions, but we had 15
stations reporting last week. I know I worked at least one station who didn’t
report, so that’s a great turnout. Let’s keep it up!
I mentioned the new RTTYOps Sprints last week, and a couple of us have been
trying to get things rolling. A little slow at the moment, but these things
take time Bill, N0KQ, did some inquiries regarding N1MM logging setups, and
there are now official N1MM logger UDC files available for both the weekday and
weekend sessions. So all you N1MM users can jump right in with all the logging
ready to go.
The upcoming weekend has lots of things going on, but it looks like the ARI
International DX and the 7QP are the only ones with a RTTY mode. Of course
there is the RTTYOps Sprint on Saturday morning (NA time), so fire up the
station and check them all out.
Please join us Thursday evening and make sure all the diddles are ready to go.
And a reminder: if you operated in the BARTG 75 Baud Sprint last Sunday, don’t
forget to set everything back to 45.45 baud. Don’t have a ‘DOH!’ moment.
