Greetings Diddlers,
A bit over the double digit mark when counting the non-reporters. 20 meters
was a no-show, but 40 was very active and 80/160 getting better every week.
Flux seems to be going down again so probably not much to be had on the higher
bands.
There is a RTTY test this weekend, the TRC Digi Contest sponsored by a club in
LZ land. It looks to be Euro centric, but I did see some NA calls in last
year’s results so you never know. If the 10 meter contest turns out to be a
dud there is a chance for some diddling activity. So drop by this Thursday
evening and make sure the diddle machine in your shack is polished and ready to
shine. I see W0YK has been keeping his new remote capability shined up just
fine.
The details of our little get together:
