[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 2 September in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

A smaller group last week but some good Q totals.  Welcome back to AA9L who is really getting the hang of it.  80 may be coming alive after a long, hot, (and smoky here) summer.



The Russians are sponsoring the WW RTTY contest this weekend, and just 24 hours to make all those Qs.  For those of you who also like the CW form of digital Qs, the CWOps CWOpen is also this weekend, but there are some breaks between sessions so it’s the best of both worlds.



Please join us Thursday evening and get that diddle machine warmed up for the big weekend.



The details for our little get together:



Friday,  3 Sept 2021, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 2 Sept 2021 in NA)
