Two one-hour practices again this Friday:

 	Friday 16 August 19-20 UTC  (EU evening)
 	Friday 16 August) 23-00 UTC (NA evening)  [NOTE THIS 2nd SESSION
		IS 2 HOURS EARLIER THAN THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE DUE TO
		SARTG RTTY CONTEST STARTING AT 00 UTC.]

Use the recommended frequencies in the WW Digi rules.  If you operate in the
daily FT frequency sub-bands be sure to use only the non-contest message
sequence with Grid Square and SNR.  ('Special operating activity' is
disabled in WSJT-X.)

As part of your practice, feel free to try different scenarios that may
occur during the contest.  For example, try both the WW Digi contest mode
(aka NA VHF Contest mode in WSJT-X's 'Special operating activity' function)
and the standard default message sequence with 'Special operating activity'
disabled.  Use different calls you may have access to, e.g, club calls.  Try
different configurations of your software, e.g., automatic vs. manual modes.

The WW Digi log processing system is up and running so we'd appreciate you
submitting your practice logs so we can test before the actual contest.  The
contest date is currently set for last week's practice and will be reset for
this
week on Friday.  The problems encountered last week have been fixed (we
think!).
