[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday (and time warning #2)

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Conditions last week were less than stellar to be sure, but we had a good turnout.  Looks like 20m is down for the count, but 80 and 160 sound better.  So some operating changes may be in order.

The upcoming weekend is  SS CW of course, with a few other smaller tests around the edges.  WAE RTTY will be the following weekend, so don’t put your RTTY setup to sleep just yet.

Don’t forget that DST is going away next Sunday, so except for the lucky KH6s and 7s in Arizona our sessions will be earlier (local time) starting November 9.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  3 Nov 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 2 Nov 2017 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (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
