There are TWO RTTY contests this weekend.
First is the DL-DX RTTY Contest.
This is a 24 hour contest which begins at 1100 UTC Saturday, July 2nd.
Rules in English at:
http://www.drcg.de/dldxrtty/dl-dx-rtty-english.html
There are several entry categories in addition to the usual, such as
SO1R, wire antennas, 6-hour and various combinations of those.
There are no power categories and no band change restrictions.
Spotting assistance is permitted in all categories. In the 6-hour
category, break times must be at least 60 minutes. In the 24-hour
categories, no off times are required.
Second is the DARC 10-m-DIGITAL-Contest (Corona).
This is a six hour contest which starts immediately after the DL-DX
RTTY contest.

I could not find a link to English language rules, please post it if
you have one. Even if you don't speak German, you probably can figure
out the basics.
With the solar flux at just 74, activity will no doubt be quite low,
but you never know.
GL and hope to see you there.
