Greetings Diddlers:
We had the bare minimum double digit turnout, but plenty of activity. Welcome
to W9ILY and K7HPN, who have been here before I know and are giving it another
go. Welcome guys and hope you’ll make it a regular outing. The N3QE/K7SV
dance is still in progress, with N3QE pulling out a win last week. And W0YK
was not far behind. We here on the west coast need less sunlight and more
sunspots.
Lots of contest stuff happening this upcoming weekend, and the Russian RTTY WW
Contest if one of them. And there is the RTTYOps Weekend Sprint on Saturday
here in NA, so a couple of ways to exercise your RTTY skills.
And, don’t forget that the REAL RTTY Sprint is only a few weeks away.
Participation has been drifting down over the last few years, so let’s see if
we can reverse that trend. If you have some RTTY capable friends that have
never tried a Sprint, have them drop by on Thursday for a few weeks and then
join the fun for a full four hours. The more the merrier!
The details for our little get together this week to keep your diddles in tune:
