[RTTY] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:


Good double digit turnout last week.  Can't say that 20m cooperated 
fully, but a few Qs is better than nothing.  Maybe the longer days are 
having some effect.  So give 20 a quick listen and maybe you too will be 
rewarded!



The upcoming weekend has one of the major RTTY tests of the year (CQ 
WPX) so if you need a test run, we're always here.



Also, the Real RTTY Sprint is just over a month away, so mark your 
calendars and keep your sprint skills in tune by joining us this 
Thursday.



Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  9 Feb 2018, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 8 Feb 2018 in NA)
