[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Well that’s more like it.  A solid double digit session.  Welcome to somewhat newcomer K6TD (who admits its been a long time).  W6SX is sorting some stations problems but is back in the mix.  Our regular cast of characters had another active night.

Looks like the only RTTY activity this weekend is the RTTYOps Weekend Sprint.  It sort of overlaps a bit with the NAQP CW but if you’ve got a few minutes before the NAQP, give it a go!

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,  31 July 2020, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 30 July in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
