[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 6 May in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



 Right at the magic double digit turnout, but it sure seemed busy.  20 meters is starting to come alive, so be sure and give it a try.  Welcome to AB0CD who did his first sprint, and with QRP at that!  Don’t worry Richard, it gets easier from here.



For those of you who like big scores, the upcoming weekend has the Grand Daddy of them all:  the Volta RTTY.  Even a part timer can turn in 1M points, so make sure your diddle machine is ready to go and rack up a serious score!
