That's right.  The WPX contest series opens this weekend with the RTTY mode.On 
Thursday (NA time), let's have two 30-minute practice sessions to check out our 
station, software and operator(s).  The second session is between the weekly 
Thursday evening practices (RTTY WRT and CW NCCC Sprint).2100-2130 UTC, 
Thursday, 8 February 0200-0230 UTC, Friday, 9 February (Thursday evening NA 
time)Operate just like it's the real thing that starts 0000 UTC Saturday 
(Friday eveNA time).  Use whatever bands are open and active for you in each 
time slot.  You might want to have a special message handy for those who tell 
you the contest hasn't begun!Most of all, have fun over the weekend in the CQ 
WPX RTTY Contest.   Take some photos of you operation and send them and/or a 
summary of your experience to Chris, N6WM, Ccd above.  It will help in writing 
up the contest results article.73,Ed W0YK
