Greetings Diddlers:

Sorry for the late posting.  As noted in the ‘special’ announcement regarding 
the NCJ RTTY Sprint coming up THiS WEEKEND, this is your last chance to be sure 
your diddle machine is ready for the BiG EVENT!

Last week in the NS RTTY we were into double digits, with the N3QE/K7SV 
struggle continuing.  Tim pulled it out by a few Qs.  Let’s see who else can 
give these two a run.

So please join us Thursday evening and get ready for Saturday.  For you N1MM 
users, remember to use the SPRINTRTTY contest on Saturday and not the 
NSRTTYDUPE that you normally use on Thursday.  Let’s make it a big turnout and 
give those CW guys a run for participation.

W0YK has scheduled an additional practice session in addition to Thursday:    
Friday NA evening (0145-0215 UTC Saturday): final practice using the NCJ 
official rules. So mults only once, and 5 kHz when you move to CQ.  Use the 
proper contest format and make sure all is well for Saturday.  Same time and 
frequencies.  As always, watch out for the FT8 guys who might be in the spots 
just above x.080 so move up just a bit.

Also note that the BARTG 75 baud Sprint is Sunday morning (in NA).  So you’ll 
need to remind yourself how to get into 75 baud and try some rip-roaring 75 
baud RTTY.  It will get your heart pumping!

The details for our little get together this week to keep your diddles in tune:

Friday,  18 Sept 2020, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 17 Sept in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: Around 1805  (Last two to five minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +84 kHz up from the band edge   <--NOTE
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.
