[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 19 August in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

Nice turnout last week, and W0YK continued his hot streak.  KA2K had such a good time the previous week he was back for more!  Keep at it Scott, at some point it will all become crystal clear!



This upcoming weekend has the SARTG RTTY test, which is one of those 24 hour tests that is split into three, 8 hour sessions.  So hopefully there will be some great activity.  Then on Sunday a few hours after the end of the third session of SARTG, the ARRL RTTY Rookie Roundup is in play.  Let’s give the new RTTY folks some extra Qs and keep the ether full of diddles.



If you are not sure if your diddle machine is up to the task, please join us Thursday evening and give it a go.  1 Q or 100 (wouldn’t that be something), fire up and join the fun.



The details for our little get together:
