[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Last week had our participation snap back to normal plus a bit more.  14 reported scores and I think 1 or 2 additional stations that did not report.  Excellent.

Two relatively new participants brought us two seldom seen mults:  NCCC member Skip, K6DGW is getting his feet wet in the art of RTTY Sprinting from NV.  Alan, K6DTT was operating the HH2AA remote for the other nice mult.  A nice lively session.

The upcoming weekend is a collection of different contests and modes.  Several QSO parties, the EA RTTY test, and even the NA SSB Sprint.  Certainly enough to keep everyone as busy as you want to be.

If you’d like a little RTTY warmup and exercise, please join us Thursday evening for a bit of Sprint fun.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
