NCCC RTTY Roundup Practices - All Are Invited

The NCCC invites you to participate in RTTY practice contests this Thursday and
Friday (Pacific local) in preparation for the ARRL RTTY Roundup contest.
   - The NCCC RTTY Roundup practice duration is an hour just like it was last
year
   - Practice is the same time Thursday and Friday (6:30pm - 7:30pm PST, or
0230z-0330z UTC).

These practices are a good opportunity to:
   - Test antennas to make sure they have survived the winter so far
   - Test logging software, RTTY keying interfaces, amps, and SO2R setup.
