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

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



Another double digit turnout last week, with great activity.  Looks like the Real RTTY Sprint had pretty good turnout, so congrats to everyone who was active.



The upcoming weekend is one of the big RTTY tests of the year, the BARTG HF RTTY test.  This one has some “unusual” rules compared to others, which can make for a great weekend.  Check out the BARTG page and read through the rules so you get everything just right.



So if you need to confirm your diddle machine is still in tip top shape, please join us Thursday evening and warm up the keyboard(s).
