[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

The countdown has begun: RTTY Roundup is just 10 days away. Time to find the mode switch, deal with the inevitable software glitch that’s crept into your system, and get everything back in working order. What’s that? You say it’s tough to find RTTY stations to work in the middle of the week? Not a problem. Join us Thursday evening and you’ll be able to confirm that all is well.

As our last session of 2016 fades into 3830 history, a big thanks to everyone who participated this year for keeping NS RTTY alive and well. I you found the sessions fun and useful, spread the word!

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