[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

A lively group last week with big Q totals from the leaders.  Welcome back to Max, KH6ZM who popped by to give out an extra (and rare) mult.

And speaking of mults, don’t forget that 160 is part of our little get together, so if you have 160 capability jump down to 1805 for the last few minutes of the session.  And if you do work someone on 1805, move up or down 1 kHz and see who else might be lurking.  A couple of quick mults can do wonders for your score.

A reminder that we are on the short countdown to the RTTY Roundup, the first weekend of January.

If you haven’t used RTTY for a while, time to fire it up and make sure all is well.  Please join us Thursday evening and get those diddles warmed up!
