Greetings Diddlers,
Wow, quite the turnout last week. The usual compliment of regulars along with
first timer KI7YFP. Welcome Brett and don’t worry, it will all come together
at some point.
OK, this is the final session before the big one: RTTY Roundup! In case you
did not get the message, there will be real RU practice sessions on Friday:
2200-2230 UTC, 1 January (Friday afternoon NA time) - RTTY focus
2230-2300 UTC, 1 January (Friday afternoon NA time) - FT4/8 focus
0200-0230 UTC, 2 January (Friday evening NA time) - RTTY focus
0230-0300 UTC, 2 January (Friday evening NA time) - FT4/8 focus
So if you are not sure if your diddle machine is ready, please join us Thursday
evening and make sure everything is ready for Friday and then the weekend.
Don’t find out at 1800Z on Saturday that something is amiss.
