[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Nothing like an upcoming contest to bring out the stations!  16 3830 reports last week with a number of stations we have not seen for a while.  20 meters seems to be waking up just a bit so don’t forget to check it at the start!

Looks like the only RTTY test this weekend is an RSGB club contest, so the weekend is cw/ssb centric.  So now that your RTTY skills are in top shape after the RTTY RU, why not jump in for something that is similar but somehow different: sprinting!  Please join us for 30 minutes of dial twisting and chase down all those stations that just won’t stay put.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening get together:

Friday, 11 Jan 2019, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 10 Jan 2019 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Last two minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.-- 100W power limit

Diddle diddle,
