[CQ-Contest] ARRL RTTY Roundup Practices

[ed at w0yk.com]

Same time and same drill as in recent years.  This Friday, let's have two practice sessions to check out station equipment, software and operator:

 

2200-2230 UTC, Friday, 5 January

0200-0230 UTC, Saturday, 6 January (Friday evening NA time)

  

Operate just like it's the real thing that starts on Saturday.  Use whatever bands are open and active for you at each time slot.

 

You might want to have a special message prepared to respond to stations telling you that the contest hasn't yet started.  (Or, perhaps, even practice your typing ;>)

 

Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the RTTY Roundup!  Take some photos of your operation and send them and/or a summary of your experience to Jeff WK6I (Ccd above).  It will help him write up the contest for the QST article.
