[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

I’m not sure if we set a new low in turnout, but it was very thin last week.  Maybe everyone is getting out of the house!  Thanks to those who were there to keep the ether warmed up.
The upcoming weekend is the NAQP RTTY.  It’s not a sprint (though it is sponsored by the same folks that do sponsor the Real Sprints), so let’s get our diddles in tune and make it a big turnout.
And also don’t forget during the week (Tuesday and Thursday in NA), RTTYOps is sponsoring the Weekday Sprints.  Morning on the west coast, early afternoon on the east coast, with two hours to find some activity.  It’s been thin so far, but if you enjoy RTTY and Sprints in particular, set aside a bit of time and give it a try!  Some of our regulars are there along with some well known RTTY folks.  Let’s keep those RTTY diddles on the bands!  RTTYOps also has a four hour Sprint on Saturday (NA), so if you only have the weekends also check that out.
And just like with the NS, if you do get on for the Weekday Sprints please report your score to 3830scores.com so everyone knows you were there!
So please join us Thursday evening in the usual places and get those diddles warmed up for the weekend.
