[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Very strange conditions on the west coast last week, but everyone else was doing well.  K4DXV has been having a tough year, but things are improving and he’s back in the shack. Welcome back Steve.  WQ5L was also back in the mix.  And looks like most of us remembered the time change.  So if you tried last week but didn’t hear anyone, write a yellow sticky to remind yourself that we’re all there one hour earlier in local time.

Looks like the big kahuna for the upcoming weekend is Phone SS, and pretty much nothing digital.  So I guess you can take the weekend off or dig out that microphone and give it a go!

So for your weekly digital fix, please join us Thursday evening. Here are the details:.
