[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Okay, this is not a week for serious contest prep. But, before you know it the ARRL RTTY Roundup will be upon us (a little over two weeks)! So rather than waiting until the night before to find something in your RTTY setup is askew, take a few minutes this Thursday and fire things up for a test.

KI8W got his station up and running made some Qs for the first time, though the noise monster has reared its head in his neighborhood. Also K3MM (one of the W3LPL guys) jumped in (I think) for the first time. Welcome Thom and Ty.

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

Friday, 23 Dec 2016, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday 22 Dec 2016 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Last two minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
