Greetings Diddlers:
Hope everyone had a great time in the SS. I’ve always wondered what an RTTY Sweepstakes would be like…hmmm…
OK, for those of you not in Arizona or KH6, don’t forget that NS starts one hour earlier local time. So if you start calling cq and wonder where everyone is, they have been there and done that earlier.
Most all of our regulars were active last week, with W9BGX (WA9LKZ) our newest regular participant. Activity does seem to be migrating to lower bands so don’t give up if 20 sounds dead at the beginning.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session (with the new time slots duly noted):
Friday, 10 Nov 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 9 Nov 2017 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band
-- 100W power limit
