Greetings Diddlers,
A small-ish list last week. But AA9L, HH2AA, and K4RVA were all back for some
sprinting. So the turnout was actually bigger than the list.
The upcoming weekend has the CQ RTTYops WW DX RTTY contest. This contest was
started as a replacement for the Slovenian contest that gave way to the WW Digi
contest. So I guess we’ll see how much RTTY activity we can get on a FT8
weekend. 26 hours in two periods for the RTTY test, so if you’d rather diddle
than do whatever FT8 does, give a listen. The Hawaii QSO Party also has a
Digital mode, so maybe there will be a few there.
So warm up the diddle machine and join us Thursday evening for some excellent
Sprint operating and make sure all is well.
The details for our little get together:
Friday, 27 Aug 2021, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 26 Aug 2021 in NA)
