[RTTY] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Last week was a better than a baker’s dozen turnout week, and I know of at least one station that did not post to 3830.  NG7Z was back in the mix, with a number of our newest participants putting up some great numbers. 80 and 160 are pretty much out of the mix for the west coast guys. I never heard N3QE on 80 which is almost unheard of  But, 15 was alive, so I guess we’ll have to accept the trade off. 20 was definitely good, so don’t forget to check those higher bands with all the daylight we have at start time.

The upcoming weekend has the Ukrainian RTTY DX test on tap, with a few other popular cw tests thrown in for good measure (the Summer Stew and All Asian CW). So plenty to keep you busy. Please join us Thursday evening and give the rtty part of your station a quick test and also practice your Sprint skills.

Here are the details for our Thursday evening ditty:
Friday,  16 June 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 15 June 2017 in NA)
