[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 9 Dec in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

A bit over the double digit mark when counting the non-reporters.  20 meters was a no-show, but 40 was very active and 80/160 getting better every week.  Flux seems to be going down again so probably not much to be had on the higher bands.



There is a RTTY test this weekend, the TRC Digi Contest sponsored by a club in LZ land.  It looks to be Euro centric, but I did see some NA calls in last year’s results so you never know.  If the 10 meter contest turns out to be a dud there is a chance for some diddling activity.  So drop by this Thursday evening and make sure the diddle machine in your shack is polished and ready to shine.  I see W0YK has been keeping his new remote capability shined up just fine.
