[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 28 Oct in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

A great group last week, though it looks like 20m is gone for the winter.  A few Qs were found but not many.  But the solar flux is up so maybe things will improve.  Welcome to W4BBT, who noted this was his first attempt at RTTY.  Welcome and hope to see you printing again.



The upcoming weekend looks to be completely covered by that odd mode that requires some special equipment called a microphone.  So if you would like to keep the diddle machine in tune before it takes the weekend off please join us at the usual time and place.



The details of our little get together:



Friday,  29 Oct 2021, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 28 Oct 2021 in NA)
