Greetings Diddlers:


I hope everyone had a great New Year celebration. Also I trust those of you in the deep freeze found a comfy spot! Last week had quite the turnout given the end of the year. New stations W2TT along with NCCCers W1RH and W9KKN were in there with a plethora of our regular stations. This was the first RTTY Sprint ever for W1RH, and W9KKN must have been back home /9 even though he's now an NCCC member. Welcome guys and hope we'll see you again!



This weekend is the first serious RTTY test of the year: ARRL RTTY Roundup. So let's make sure your diddle machines are ready to go. Please join us Thursday evening and give everything a checkout. Yes the format is a little different but jump in and we'll make sure you are ready for a successful weekend.



Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:

Don’t forget to report your score to 3830scores.com, and join us at 0300Z on 3610 kHz (+/- a few for ongoing groups) for comments and questions (and dinner menus).


Diddle diddle,

Ken K6MR
