Greetings Diddlers:

Looks like the upcoming weekend is pretty much reserved for those of you with microphones. One RTTY test is there but looks to have limited time for those of us in NA.  The REAL RTTY Sprint is just over 1 week away, so only two practice sessions to go.

Please join us Thursday evening and give your Sprint skills a refresher!

First warning: DST will switch on just after the Real Sprint, which will move our sessions one hour later in local time.

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

Friday,  3 Mar 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday 2 Mar 2017 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Last two minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
