[RTTY] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:


Things look to be picking up around here.  Just short of a dozen 
stations last week reported on 3830.  Our "new station of the week" is 
actually a previous entry in his new home with a new call. Bob, AA6OC 
has been in previous NS sessions as KH6BE.  We'll miss the mult but 
hopefully Bob will be workable from CA on the low bands (which seems to 
be all we've got these days).  Bob is still in the QRP class so keep the 
gain up and watch for his new call.



The upcoming weekend doesn't look too promising for RTTY.  I'm also not 
holding my breath for the 10m test.  Solar conditions look down right 
dismal.



So to keep your keyboard skills up to snuff, please join us Thursday 
evening.


Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  8 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 7 Dec 2017 in NA)
