Greetings Diddlers:

Smallish group last week.  Thanks to all for keeping the ether warmed up.  Note to the regulars:  I’m still fighting with the electric utility to fix my extreme noise problem.  No luck yet.

The upcoming weekend has the Open Ukraine RTTY test for your digital pleasure.  Of course the ARRL DX SSB is also on so you get your pick of modes.
