Its the North American QSO Party on RTTY!

There will be RTTY on the bands (10m to 80m) this Saturday as 
operators exchange a Name and State (or Province or Country). 

Party-time is Saturday 1800 UTC to Sunday 0600 UTC.  
Single-ops operate 10 of the 12 hours, so you'll have time for a 
meal and a break on Saturday, and still have Sunday free for your 
other weekend activities. Multi-ops can operate all 12 hours.
