Greetings Diddlers,
Back into double digit turnout last week. Welcome to first timer K0VW (neat
call!), as well as AK2S and W4BBT who were back for more sprint fun.
And yes, it’s that time again for most of us to adjust ourselves to that silly
biannual government imposed ritual of messing with time. So even though the
UTC times have not changed, those of you (and me) who are subjected to this
craziness must adjust our day. Put a yellow sticky on the monitor, set an
alarm, whatever you need to do to remember to show up an hour earlier local
time. Except of course you lucky folks who are in states that have sane
management. Anyway, don’t forget. If no one is around when you start CQing,
you are too late!
The upcoming weekend has a biggie of the RTTY world: WAE DX RTTY! This one
gives everyone a chance to play and makes QTCs a bit more fun. So warm up the
diddle machine and join us Thursday evening to make sure everything is up to
snuff for the weekend.
