Hello,

The Northern California Contest Club invites you to participate in a 
mini-RTTY Roundup practice session tonight.

Friday, January 2; 8:00pm-8:30pm PST
[In UTC: Saturday, January 3; 04Z-04:30Z]
Frequencies: 3590, 7090, 14090 kHz, +/- 10kHz
(Let's be courteous to ongoing QSOs.)

Format: RTTY Roundup exchange

Immediately following the mini-RTTY Roundup, there will be an informal 
net at 3853 kHz (+/- for existing QSOs) to discuss any problems you 
encountered with your RTTY setup, and how you scored in the practice 
session.

The Northern California Contest Club has been sponsoring these 
mini-contest practice sessions for other contests such as Sweepstakes, 
NAQP, and Sprint.  We've found they are helpful in testing the logging 
software setup, function key macros, and RFI.  I think this may be 
especially helpful to make sure no one has inverted RTTY tones, RFI on 
AFSK signal, forgot to make sure %E is at the end of the Writelog RTTY 
macros, determine if anyone is answering other CQs off frequency due to 
AFC, etc.  This way, we can all debug these issues before the RTTY 
Roundup, not during.  It will also be a good opportunity to test 
propagation one day before the contest.

See you in the mini-RTTY Roundup practice session tonight, and also the 
real contest this weekend!

73 and Happy New Year...

Subject: [RTTY] NCCC Dry Run tonight - need info

I deleted the info about NCCC's dry run on the ARRL Roundup tonight because I
didn't think I was going to be able to participate because I was suppose to take
the YL to the movies.  Guess what?  She doesn't want to go now!!!  What luck!!!

What's the information on tonight's dry run to test everything for Roundup?

I know they were suppose to meet on some 3830 kHz frequency afterwards.  Is that
a legal RTTY frequency?  Just kidding.

Thanks and see everyone tonight or tomorrow!!!

Man I'm pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

73, Don AA5AU
