[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Another active session last week, with a spate of new calls. Welcome to (I believe) first timers AA9L, WB5K, KZ9V and VE2FK. That was a real boost for the mult total.  N5TIT, K2AL, and KF5VRD were also back in the mix along with most of the regulars.

This upcoming weekend is a break between the Sweepstakes weekends, and it brings us a major RTTY test: WAE. With the anyone works anyone available for RTTY and the (in)famous QTCs it makes for an active 48 hours. So if you have not checked out your RTTY setup recently please join us Thursday evening and make sure everything is proper.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON!: Time change has occurred. If you have a local alarm set for the start time don’t forget to set it back an hour. It will be mighty lonely in the RTTY band segments if you show up at 0245Z…

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