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

[Ken K6MR]

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you guys are talking about  ;^)   A game, pre-game, Super Bowl (is this some kind of food?).

If it doesn't show up in the Contest Calendar why would I need to know about it?

The game doesn't start until after 2300z so there is minimal overlap except for those who enjoy the pre-game show or attending Super Bowl parties!

We have the Olympics this weekend as well.

I would still rather be on the radio working people. And RTTY is an excellent mode for also having the TV on.

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.

My comments:
Well, we used to have WPX RTTY weekend to ourselves until the NFL added an extra game to their schedule.  Now the Superbowl will fall on the second day of the contest.  I think this will be a perpetual condition.
It will be interesting to see how North American participation wanes during the game.  Maybe participation will increase greatly during halftime.  I don't see this age group interested in the Hip Hop Halftime show. ;-)
