[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Active group last week.  Two new stations joined in:  Ron, WV4P and Bob, K6RWM  jumped into the mix in fine style.  Welcome guys and hope you’ll join us again.

This week may find the CA mult a bit sparse as the IDXC in Visalia is this weekend, and many of us will be traveling Thursday evening.  But we’ll be there in spirit!

I didn’t see any RTTY events this weekend, so you are on your own to keep busy.  I did see a new FT8 contest (at least it’s new to me), so looks like interest is building in the new mode.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening (in NA)  get together.

Friday,  12 Apr 2019, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 11 Apr 2019 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
