[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 1 Apr in NA (No Foolin' !)

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

Not a real barn burner last week, but still double digit activity.  Welcome to first timer KK0U, who promises to be louder next week with a full 100W.  And welcome back to second timer K4RVA who is still getting settled. And welcome back to WD0T, who has now found his basement again and is back to making lots of Qs.  Welcome all and hope to see you all back this week.

This weekend has the EA RTTY test on tap, a solid 24 hours of RTTY where everyone works everyone (though you get more points for EAs).  The Mississippi QP also has RTTY listed as a mode, so maybe something there also.

So join us this Thursday evening and check out the diddle machine for the weekend The details for our little get together this week:
