[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 25 Mar 2021 in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

Great turnout last week, we got close to the magic 20 station count again.  And it looks like everyone remembered the time change, so I won’t repeat myself.

Welcome to newcomers K4RVA, K0JP, and W0AAE.  Don’t worry guys, things will come together. Practice, practice.  If you had problems getting things to work properly, don’t be bashful and post your questions.  It is very likely that one of the regulars have sorted a similar problem.

I didn’t see any full blown RTTY tests this weekend, so for activity you may have to dig out a microphone for the CQ WW WPX SSB test.  Of course that makes it doubly important to join us Thursday evening so you can keep your diddle machine in perfect tune.

The details for our little get together this week:

Friday,  26 Mar 2021, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 25 Mar 2021 in NA)
