Greetings Diddlers:
Seems we are in the holiday doldrums at the moment, but we'll keep
plugging away. Don't forget: ARRL RTTY Roundup in less than two weeks.
Need a quick tune up? Need to ensure those received diddles are being
decoded and the proper diddles are being sent? Drop by and make a few
Qs to ensure all is well. We had at least one lurking station who was
listening in but didn't jump in last week. Don't be bashful and we
promise to take good care of you!
This weekend looks to be pretty much a cw and phone weekend, though
there is the SARTG New Year RTTY on 1 Jan 2018. Probably not much hope
for us in the west, but you east coast powerhouses might have better
luck.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday, 29 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 28 Dec 2017 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q or band change.
