[CQ-Contest] RTTY fun this Saturday July 17 in the NAQP RTTY Contest!

[K6UFO Mark Aaker]

 There will be RTTY on the bands (10m to 80m) this Saturday as 
operators exchange a Name and State (or Province or Country). 
Party-time is Saturday 1800 UTC to Sunday 0600 UTC.  
Single-ops operate 10 of the 12 hours, so you'll have time for a 
meal and a break on Saturday, and still have Sunday free for your 
other weekend activities. Multi-ops can operate all 12 hours.

Find the Rules, Team Registration, Past Results and Records at the 
National Contest Journal website: <http://ncjweb.com/> http://ncjweb.com/ 
 
Any group of friends can form a NAQP Team of two to five 
single-operators. Register your Team before the contest at the 
"Team Registration" link:  <http://ncjweb.com/rttynaqpteamreg/>
