Greetings Diddlers!
Another year of RTTY NS is beginning fresh so let's start by making a
change to celebrate the new year: 160 meters!
20 is a bit thin this time of year. Let's add 160 to our band
selection. The ARRL band plan shows 1800 - 1810 as the digital band,
so we'll target 1805 and up. Typically the cw sessions use the last 3
- 4 minutes of the session for 160, so give that a try and we'll see
how it goes.
Dupes are keeping everyone busy, so continue with same band dupes
after 1 intervening Q.
RTTY Round Up is this weekend, so please join us for our weekly get
together and get into the RTTY 'groove'.
