Greetings Diddlers:
The upcoming weekend brings one of the major RTTY events. Ready? Are you sure? Our own N3QE has announced a WPX practice session this Thursday evening just before the NS! So since you’re going to be around anyway…. Make a quick logger change and join us. The ‘real’ RTTY Sprint is coming up Real Soon Now so don’t forget how the Sprint works (hint: it’s different).
Last week’s session was a good one, with some of our newer stations back in the mix. Steve, K4DXV has been gone for a while but is back with the TN mult! The bands are still limited, but 40 and 80 are pretty good.
Here’s the usual list of times, rules and extra notes for our usual Thursday soiree.
