[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 10 Feb in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,


A smaller group last week, but welcome to W4BBT and K9DX who I think are somewhat new to our group.  For the newer participants, don't forget that this NS has the famous (maybe infamous) "Dupe Rule", as noted below.  It's a little weird, but the stripped down version is you may work the same station again if you work someone else in-between.  So don't worry if you only hear 8 - 10 stations, keep that dial moving and grab whoever you find.


Well finally we RTTY people get a whole weekend to ourselves.  CQ WW RTTY WPX is one of the biggies, and perhaps the most fun.  Lots of rate and lots of mults.  What more do you need?  So fire up that diddle machine and join us Thursday evening and make sure everything is ready for the big weekend.


The details of our little get together:



Friday,  11 Feb 2022, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 10 Feb 2022 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
