[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 23 Sept in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,

Even correcting for the errant entries from a couple of CW guys things looked great last week.  Welcome to AC5XK who did his first RTTY NS.  And welcome back to W6SX who is in and out (sort of like me) as well as KK0U.  Yes Jim, these are practice sessions to get the bugs worked out, but sometimes it takes more than one so don’t be bashful and join us whenever you feel the need to check things out.



The upcoming weekend has El Grande RTTY test of the year, CQWW RTTY.  So block out some time, hide yourself in the shack, and give the diddle machine a serious workout.



And be sure to join us Thursday evening and make sure everything is in tip top shape.
