Greetings Diddlers:
Things look to be picking up around here. Just short of a dozen
stations last week reported on 3830. Our "new station of the week" is
actually a previous entry in his new home with a new call. Bob, AA6OC
has been in previous NS sessions as KH6BE. We'll miss the mult but
hopefully Bob will be workable from CA on the low bands (which seems to
be all we've got these days). Bob is still in the QRP class so keep the
gain up and watch for his new call.
The upcoming weekend doesn't look too promising for RTTY. I'm also not
holding my breath for the 10m test. Solar conditions look down right
dismal.
So to keep your keyboard skills up to snuff, please join us Thursday
evening.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday, 8 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 7 Dec 2017 in NA)

-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
