[CQ-Contest] WPX RTTY Practice sessions

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

2100-2130 UTC, Thursday, 11 February

0100-0130 UTC, Friday, 12 February (Thursday evening NA time)

On Thursday (NA time), let's have two of our now traditional 30-minute practice sessions to check out our station equipment, software and operator(s).  Both sessions are prior to the usual Thursday evening NCCC Sprints (RTTY and CW).

Operate just like it's the real thing that starts on Saturday UTC.  Use whatever bands are open and active for you at each time slot.  You might want to have a special message prepared to respond to stations telling you that the contest hasn't yet started.

Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the CQ WPX RTTY Contest.  Please take some time to take some photos of your station, operation and maybe jot some notes down, and send them to me, I may be able to feature them in the CQ magazine write up.
