Greetings Diddlers:
Great group last week with a number of stations stopping by just before the Big
RTTY Sprint. Always good to have new stations around even if it is only twice
a year.
Before we go any farther, those of you who messed with your clocks this last
weekend need to remember we will be tickling the ether one hour later local
time. Except for you lucky folks with sane politicians. So if you show up and
can't find anyone, just take a break for an hour and we'll all be there.
The upcoming weekend has the BARTG HF RTTY Test. This is a pretty big test in
the RTTY world, with some slightly unusual classes and operating times, as well
as a slightly unusual exchange. So take a peek at the rules and come prepared
to put forth your best effort.
So please join us Thursday evening (at the correct time!) and make sure
everything is still in place after last weekend.
The details of our little get together:
Friday, 18 Mar 2022, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 17 Mar 2022 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: Try 1804, 1805, 1806 (Last two to five minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +84 kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.
