The North American QSO Party on RTTY will be Saturday July 21, 2018. 
The friendly exchange is a Name and State (or Province or Country). 
Five bands, 10m to 80m. QSOs and Multipliers count again on each band. 
"Move" someone to another band for more Points and Multipliers!

In the July contest, you may encounter some Europeans in the DMC RTTY 
Contest who would like a Signal Report and a Serial Number (599 001). 
Get their NAME for your NAQP RTTY log. 

I am also interested in any photos and stories of your operation, especially 
photos of a happy RTTY operator or group. 

See you on RTTY, Saturday July 21!
