I’m sorry, but I got my times mixed up for the weekly Thursday practice
contests. They are: :
NS FT8 0100-0130 UTC
WRT 0145-0215 UTC
NS CW 0230-0300
Therefore, let’s move second WPX RTTY practice session out one hour. The
updated practice schedule is:
2100-2130 UTC, Thursday, 8 February
0300-0330 UTC, Friday, 9 February (Thursday evening NA time)
My apologies and thanks to David AD4TJ for alerting me.

That's right. The WPX contest series opens this weekend with the RTTY mode.
On Thursday (NA time), let's have two 30-minute practice sessions to check out
our station, software and operator(s). The second session is between the
weekly Thursday evening practices (RTTY WRT and CW NCCC Sprint).
2100-2130 UTC, Thursday, 8 February
0200-0230 UTC, Friday, 9 February (Thursday evening NA time)
Operate just like it's the real thing that starts 0000 UTC Saturday (Friday
eveNA time). Use whatever bands are open and active for you in each time slot.
You might want to have a special message handy for those who tell you the
contest hasn't begun!
Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the CQ WPX RTTY Contest. Take some
photos of you operation and send them and/or a summary of your experience to
Chris, N6WM, Ccd above. It will help in writing up the contest results article.
