[CQ-Contest] WPX RTTY Practices

[ed at w0yk.com]

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

 

2200-2230 UTC, Thursday, 6 February

0200-0230 UTC, Friday, 7 February (Thursday evening NA time)

NOTE: 0145-0215 UTC, Friday is also the WRT: https://radiosport.world/wrt.html

  

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 on-the-fly typing ;>)

 

Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the WPX RTTY contest!  Take some photos of your operation and send them and/or a story of your experience to Chris, N6WM (Ccd above).  It will help him write up the contest for the results article.
