This Saturday will be the North American RTTY QSO Party

[David Tanks]

    Here is your chance to get more RTTY practice! There is Team competition,

  with a maximum of 5 team members. Let me know if you want to be on 

  the Shenandoah Valley Wireless contest team before Saturday so I can get

  us signed up. This is a 12 hour event, but as a single operator you are 

  limited to 10 hours. 100 watts maximum, so you won't be competing 

  against the big-gun stations!

  Starts Saturday 2 pm and runs until Sunday 2 am.

Count me in.

Humor me for one observation... When you operate with wires and 2-el hexagonal beams, you're still competing with the big guns! With their 10 dB arrays, their 100 Watts only sounds like a kW instead of the usual 10 kW!! 😉
