[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 20 May in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,



Good double digit group last week.  Welcome to Mike, W8DN.  Mike is a serious CWT guy who looks to be testing the RTTY waters.  Welcome and hope to see you printing again.



Nothing serious going on in the contest world this weekend since this would normally be Hamvention weekend.  So I guess you can do the virtual Hamvention and try the Hamvention QSO party, which unfortunately does not have a RTTY mode shown.  You’ll have to join us Thursday evening for your RTTY fix, then take the weekend off and enjoy the new equipment demos at the virtual Hamvention.



Here are the details for our little weekly get together:



Friday,  21 May 2021, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 20 May 2021 in NA)
