[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 4 Mar 2021 in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



Quite the great turnout last week, very close to the magic 20!  A few stations that looked new to me, including W6DMW, K6TJ, WT2P,and AA4DD, along with several newer stations back for more.  Welcome everyone!



The upcoming weekend has the Open Ukraine RTTY Championship (great title!) for those of us in the keyboard mode, and since it’s only a few different 3 hour segments you can do some RTTY in-between testing your vocal abilities in the ARRL DX SSB test.  Sure to keep you busy all weekend.  So please join us Thursday evening and give the diddle machine a warm up run and be ready for the weekend.
