[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 15 Apr in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

A little short on stations last week, but still some great Q totals.  Some of our newest stations are becoming regulars, always nice to see.

The only RTTY related test I see on the calendar for this weekend is the VERON PACCdigi Contest, which also includes FT8.  That might mean only a little RTTY, but who knows?  The Texas State Parks on the Air says modes “ALL”, so maybe some there.

If you need your weekly shot of RTTY keyboard fun, please join us Thursday evening for a bit of RTTY and real Sprinting (what better combination is there?).
