[RTTY] Thursday NS RTTY

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:


Seems we are in the holiday doldrums at the moment, but we'll keep 
plugging away.  Don't forget:  ARRL RTTY Roundup in less than two weeks. 
  Need a quick tune up? Need to ensure those received diddles are being 
decoded and the proper diddles are being sent?  Drop by and make a few 
Qs to ensure all is well.  We had at least one lurking station who was 
listening in but didn't jump in last week.  Don't be bashful and we 
promise to take good care of you!



This weekend looks to be pretty much a cw and phone weekend, though 
there is the SARTG New Year RTTY on 1 Jan 2018.  Probably not much hope 
for us in the west, but  you east coast powerhouses might have better 
luck.



Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:

Friday,  29 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 28 Dec 2017 in NA)
