[RTTY] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers!

Last week saw some new faces, err, calls: WS7V and W6NF were tuning up for the NAQP. And N0KQ, WT2P, and K2AL were back in there getting their RTTY electrons warmed up. Pleased to work just about everyone this last weekend in the NAQP.

This next weekend appears to be downright empty. But, (and yes, I know this is not a RTTY event) there is a new Sprint: The SA Sprint. Two hours of moving around the bands with reckless abandon, similar to the NA Sprint. Well at least it’s got a QSY Rule!  I hope we get a little boost in propagation and are able to work a few folks to the south. Never can have enough Sprinting.

If you’d like 30 minutes of the well known NA Sprint format on RTTY, please join us on Thursday evening.

Here’s the usual list of times, rules and extra notes for our usual Thursday soiree:

Friday, 22 July 2016, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday 21 July 2016 in NA
