[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday, 3 Mar in NA

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers,


Yes Yes, a day late and way more than a dollar short.  But here's your usual weekly reminder for our ever popular RTTY get together that keeps the ether warm.  A number of new and newer stations joined us last week:  K9WX who was back for more fun and frivolity, K9EI who admitted to his first RTTY Sprint, and WW3S, who also (I think) was a first timer but didn't quite get the time right.  Welcome to everyone and hope you'll be back this week.


Looks like the upcoming weekend is all phone all the time.  So if you can find that microphone that is somewhere in the shack you can join in.  But you might as well join us Thursday evening since that will be your only chance for some quality keyboard and diddle time this week.



The details of our little get together:



Friday,  4 Mar 2022, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 3 Mar 2022 in NA)
