[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 18 Feb 2021 in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



The week is getting away from me!  Another great turnout last week, with 18 reporting and at least one not reporting.  Oh so close to the magic 20!  Welcome to W6DMW, another NCCC member giving things a try.  Welcome Dave!  All we need is a good evening opening on 20m and scores would be through the roof!  Don’t forget to check 20 the first few minutes: KH6CJJ has been hanging around, so maybe he’ll grab a few Midwest or even East coast guys.  But you have to be there!



The upcoming weekend is likely to be all CW, all the time with the ARRL DX CW.  But the following weekend is the RTTY version of the NAQP.  So you’ve got two chances to make sure your diddles are in tune for the big Saturday.
