[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Yes, I know. You are hearing bells in the strangest places, aren’t you?  Not to worry, by Wednesday evening your ears will recover... and you’ll be wanting more diddling!  So just switch contests, keep the radios in RTTY mode and we’ll continue to practice for the next RTTY Sprint!

Kind of a small group last week, but our new station of the week is:: KH6BE.  Robert even did it QRP from out in the Pacific.  Welcome Robert, and hope to catch you a few more times before you are back on the mainland.

If you’d like to gain the notoriety of being our “new station of the week”, please join us Thursday evening and jump into the most RTTY fun you can have in 30 minutes.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
