[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Great turnout last week.  Welcome to (I think) new stations N7DX from his sailboat, and W3MAM.  Don’t worry Dave, we’ll get you used to Sprints in no time!  K7SV broke the magic 50 Q / 1000 point level with his updated station, so watch out for Lar in the next Real Sprint!

Looks like no major RTTY tests this weekend, but the Hawaii QSO party does have a digital component.  And if you are in the shack Saturday morning, give a listen for the RTTYOps Weekend Sprint.  There is always time for a Sprint!

The details for our little get together this week to keep your diddles in tune:
