[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

According to 3830 we didn’t quite make double digits, but there were two stations on that didn’t post, so we’ll call it a win.  Welcome to AA2MA, who was lurking around the bands.  And fellow NCCCer K6KM who was testing out his new N1MM setup.  Welcome all and hope to see you printing again.

The upcoming weekend looks a little light in the contest department, so if you have some time Saturday morning (in NA anyway), fire up the diddle machine and give the RTTYOps Weekend Sprint a go.  Same basic rules as we have with a slightly different exchange.  Nothing like a little extra practice when things are quiet.

Please join us Thursday evening for our regular exercising of the diddle machines and trying to beat the ether into submission.

The details for our little get together this week:

Friday,  24 July 2020, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 23 July in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: Around 1805  (Last two to five minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +84 kHz up from the band edge   <--NOTE
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
