[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Well activity was definitely up last week. WD0T managed to escape the thunderstorms, and N6RO found his way back to the shack (and of course hasn’t lost his touch).

Don’t forget that we’re getting close to the REAL Sprints: CW is just 18 days away, and RTTY just 7 days after that. So watch out for a note from your local team builder and get on a Sprint team! 

The upcoming weekend has the Slovenia CC RTTY test, and a number of QSO parties. So it will be easy to keep busy.

If you need a chance to check out your RTTY setup before the weekend (and brush up on your Sprint skills, if needed), please join us Thursday evening.

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

Friday, 26 Aug 2016, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday 25 Aug 2016 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT

Diddle diddle,
