Yes, yes, late again. Time slips away. Thanks to everyone that was in the NCJ
RTTY Sprint last weekend. Remember that the next one is in 6 months or so, and
you’ve got plenty of time to invite your friends! You can tell them to drop by
on Thursday evenings to get a little practice also!
We had a good double digit group last Thursday, with NCCC members WD6T and
KA6BIM dropping by for a little tune up. Also mystery station W6M also popped
in, but everyone knew it was JIM KS (AC0E). Just doing this from memory but I
think I worked everyone from last week (as well as many other regulars) in the
Real Sprint so thanks again to everyone for helping make it a great evening.
Since we all like RTTY we all know we’ve got a full weekend coming up. CQWW
RTTY will keep the diddles going all weekend. In case you didn’t see the mail
messages, there are two practice sessions sanctioned by the CQWW committee,
both before and after our little get together:
Thursday, 24 September, 2000-2100z (Thursday evening, EU time)
