Greetings Diddlers:
Well we had quite the turnout last week. 17 stations reporting on 3830, with
new stations N6AJS, AI6JB, and KC4HW jumping into the mix. The stars must have
been aligned, with several of our old time regulars back at it including WD0T
back from home improvement duty and KB1RI, WQ5L, and K3PP back for more.
Welcome all and we hope to see you in the future.
Last week was our first with the availability of the live scoreboard
(contestonlinescore.com), but there were a few glitches. N1MM+ logger had a
small problem with mode reporting so many stations were posting to the NS CW
scoreboard. Also, some stations were reporting as (A) even with Single OP
selected. Those problems should be fixed, so if you had issues last week (or
did not try to use the scoreboard) give it a try this week. A few of us
managed to post some scores so let’s see how many we can put up there this
week.
The upcoming weekend looks to be pretty quiet, although if you are an IOTA
hunter you’ll likely want to be on the lookout for some special stations. But
if you need a RTTY fix for the week, please join us and keep those diddles in
tune!
