[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Good group last week. David, KC2WUF was our new station of the week. Welcome David, and we’ll look for you to improve your first score.  I won the “Lid of the week” award for calling CQ on 160 with a disconnected receive antenna!  NN7SS probably wore out his macro key trying to call me. Sorry, Burt.  I promise to do better this week.

The upcoming weekend has a plethora of activity, including a few with RTTY modes. So fire up your setup and make sure everything is ready for the weekend.

Here are the details for our Thursday evening ditty:
