[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers!

Well I must have been asleep when I wrote you last week as I forgot to plug the SPDX RTTY and the BARTG 75 Sprint. I’m sure you dedicated keyboarders discovered these on your own and were able to put in some quality time on the keyboard. The BARTG 75 Sprint was great fun but conditions here were less than exceptional. This weekend looks very thin so you may need to switch modes and look for the Florida mobiles (Florida QSO Party). The Russian MultiMode test advertises RTTY so maybe there is some hope after all.

Good group last week. 15 meters was a no go from here, and conditions don’t look much better at the moment.  But you never know, so give a listen on 15 for the first few minutes and let’s see if we can warm up the ions. 

Here’s the usual list of times, rules and extra notes for our usual Thursday soiree:

Friday, 29 Apr 2016, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday 28 Apr 2016 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT

-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up 
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge (Don’t forget to check 15!)
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.
-- 100W power limit.

Diddle diddle,
