[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 21 Oct in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

A smallish group last week, but everyone kept busy.  Just a reminder:  Not everyone is loud to someone else, so be sure to listen for the TU or RRR before calling so folks can get a repeat if needed. I know we all want speed, but let’s make sure everyone completes all of their Qs.  So pause just a bit more and listen before calling.



Welcome to Don, AK2S, who completed his first sprint!  Yes, at times confusing.  But always a rush!



After a few weekends of non-stop RTTY,  the upcoming weekend looks like everything but RTTY.  So let’s keep your diddle machine up to snuff by a bit of sprinting this Thursday.  Then it can take the weekend off.
