Greetings Diddlers:

Not a double digit week but some great scores.  If you had to fiddle with your clocks this past weekend, make yourself a yellow sticky note that reminds you that NS will be one hour later (local time) starting this week.  So if no one seems to be around when you start, take a break and resume things an hour later!

The upcoming weekend is the Real RTTY Sprint!  I’m sure all the regulars are ready as can be, but if you think you need a little tune up before the weekend drop by and make sure all is well.

The details for our little get together this week:

Friday,  13 Mar 2020, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 12 Mar  in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
