[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday (Warning: time change)

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

I trust everyone had a great time in the Real NA Sprint!  If you did but kept thinking “I need more practice”, well that’s why we’re here!  Put us on your Thursday night calendar and in six months (the next NA Sprint RTTY) you’ll be well on your way to being a Sprint expert.

The upcoming weekend does have one of the big RTTY tests of the year: BARTG HF RTTY.  This is the one that includes the time in the exchange, so double check those macros!

So jump in Thursday evening and keep that diddle machine in tune for the weekend.  Note the updated local times for those of you stuck with the DST change.

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

Friday,  15 Mar 2019, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 14 Mar 2019 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
