Greetings Diddlers:

A little lighter turnout last week (I’m afraid I was a no-show myself..DOH)  but still some good numbers.  Welcome to some newer stations:  K7HPN, K3RWN, and KD6TR.  The 20 meter numbers were pretty small so the band looks to be drying up early.

The upcoming weekend has the Russian Cup Digital Test, and appears to be RTTY only.  And of course the RTTYOps Weekend Sprint, which does overlap a bit with the Russian Test’s first session.  So give ‘em both a try.

And just a reminder that the Real NCJ RTTY Sprint is just 11 days away!  Tell your friends!  Build some teams!  Participation has been down the last few times so let’s get it back up and challenge those CW guys for participation.

The details for our little get together this week to keep your diddles in tune:
