[RTTY] Thursday NS RTTY

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:


A smaller group last week, and 20 meters was pretty much a no show.  
Although N3QE and K7SV managed to snag each other on 20 AND 15 (and 
160!).   So you east coast guys watch out and you could pick up some 
band mults.  Not a peep of anything on the left coast.



There is the OK DX RTTY this weekend.  It is an everyone works everyone 
test, with 3X points on 40 and 80.  So with a little activity it could 
be a good one.  Maybe we'll hear an OK or two out here (hey, I can 
dream).  So make sure you're ready by joining us Thursday evening for 
some quality keyboard time.



Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:

Friday,  15 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 14 Dec 2017 in NA)
