Greetings Diddlers:
Well we were back to almost a dozen reporting stations last week, with
many of our regulars back in the saddle. Our new station of the week is
K6GHA. Don is a NCCC regular in lots of contests, and based on his
comments he's getting the Sprint bug again and needed a bit of practice.
Welcome Don, and don't be a stranger.
Given the time of the year I guess the rather limited contest schedule
this weekend is to be expected. Just a few cw tests if you happen to
have some free time in between your holiday prep duties.
But don't forget that the RTTY Roundup is just over two weeks away. So
if you haven't been on RTTY for a while or need to confirm that all the
diddle machines in the shack are working, please join us Thursday
evening and check it all out.
Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday, 22 Dec 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 21 Dec 2017 in NA)
-- 1745 - 1815 PST
-- 2045 - 2115 EST
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q or band change.

Please visit http://www.ncccsprint.com/rttyns.html for complete rules

common logging programs.
Don’t forget to report your score to 3830scores.com, and join us at
