G'Day Fellow Contesters
Makrothen RTTY this weekend. The Makrothen is a fun contest with
distance-based scoring. https://www.pl259.org/makrothen/makrothen-rules/
Lots of hams are bemoaning the poor conditions. Well, they are not as bad
as you might think. Conditions were fairly reasonable during the California
QSO Party this past weekend. Both ten and fifteen had openings with fifteen
meters being particularly productive.
Here are the details for our regular Thursday night sprints.

-- Same band dupes okay after 1 intervening Q or band change
