[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers!

Last week was a busy session, with new stations KC8GTX, AA9L, and KF5EVV. N8FYL also made a return visit. Pleased to see all of you printing, and don’t be bashful: any time you’ve got a free Thursday evening please drop by.

I did work a few NSers in the new SA Sprint on Saturday. I know it’s tough getting a new contest up and running so congratulations to the SA Sprint team for taking the first steps toward a new Sprint style test.

The upcoming weekend doesn’t show any RTTY activity, but if you’re into IOTA the weekend looks to be yours on cw and ssb.  If you need a dose of RTTY this week, please join us Thursday evening for a bit of Sprinting.. 

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