Fellow RTTY aficionados:
This week's half hour NS RTTY (NCCC Sprintcontest, RTTY mode) is coming up
this Thursday evening local time (Friday0145Z). It’s a half hour of action
packed RTTY fun.
For those of you who will be in Dayton thisThursday, here’s your chance to
checkout your ability to operate your station remotely. According to the fine
article by W1VE in theMay/June 2022 edition of the NCJ, remote operation is
easy peasy.
Last week, we had a good group of mostlyregulars in this event. Those
whoparticipate every week get a very good sense of how HF propagation
progressesfrom week to week.
A few entrants last week forgot to submit theirscores to www.3830scores.com at
the end of the contest. Please dothat. Reporting your score, whether itbe
modest or awesome, helps build enthusiasm for this event, and
increasesparticipation for future editions.
For those of you using the N1MM+ logger, thecontest module to use is
NSRTTYDUPE. If you need a good set of functionkeys, let me know and I’ll be
happy to share mine with you.
Remember to try 15 meters at the beginning ofthis Thursday night's contest – 15
is often open at 0145Z.
