Greetings Diddlers:
Conditions really perked up last week, with Qs on 20 and even 15. Maybe even a
nearly spotless sun can get things hopping. Plenty of big numbers from the
group.
Several DX tests and QSO parties this weekend, so you have your choice. A
couple include digital modes also.
A couple of the NS regulars will be attending the IDXC in Visalia this week,
so the CA mult might be a little less available. But we’ll be back next week.
If you need a RTTY checkout or would like 30 minutes of pure fun, please join
in on Thursday for a quick Sprint session.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday, 20 Apr 2018, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 19 Apr 2018 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
