[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday (and an announcement)

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

I recognized plenty of NSers this past weekend, and I trust everyone had a successful NAQP.  I hope you found your Thursday evenings useful for improving your operating prowess.

Based on a plebiscite  of our “regulars”, there will be a live scores server for our use on Thursday evenings.  We will be using  ContestOnlineScore.com  ( https://contestonlinescore.com )  It will take some setup time so I’ll let everyone know when it is up and running.  You can go to the site now and look for the “Help” selection in the menu bar and get a pdf that will document all the setup info you will need.

Looks like a very quiet weekend contest-wise.  Not RTTY tests, but one new contest (The Scottish DX) and one relatively new one (The SA Sprint) will be vying for your attention.  And if you want to keep those now excellent RTTY skills sharp please join us Thursday evening.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  21 July 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 20 July 2017 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Not sure this will be productive)
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge  (start checking those higher bands!)
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band
-- 100W power limit

Diddle diddle,
