[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 16 Dec in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



Yep, a day late.  Sorry about that.  But I’m sure you all knew to show up anyway!



A good bunch last week, but it looks like 20m is toast for a while.  160 is definitely coming back so you that have the capability don’t forget to jump down there for a quick 1 or 2 mults.



Welcome to AC5XK in beautiful downtown DC, and welcome back to K4DXV who has not been with us for a while.


The upcoming weekend has the OK DX RTTY test, so something for all us hopelessly addicted diddlers.  If that can’t keep you busy there’s always the Stew on a hopefully improving 160, as well as the RAC Winter test with our friends to the north.  So please join us Thursday evening to check everything out so you are ready for the weekend.
