[RTTY] RTTY Digest, Vol 70, Issue 31

[Brian Kassel]

Hi Ian:
   Excellent suggestion, I will put that date on my "MUST DO" calendar. I
appreciate your reply to my message. Stay warm OM up there in ON, and
the best of luck in the CQ WW SSB event. I no longer do SSB contests
due to hearing loss, but surely jump into every RTTY, PSK and most CW
events too.
