Greetings Diddlers:

Our Thursday session was a little subdued last week, but several of our newer 
stations were in there with the regulars.  Even WD0T was released from basement 
construction duty and was back on the bands.

The upcoming weekend has the JARTS contest for us RTTY types.  Usually pretty 
good participation from Asia so should be a fun time on the keyboard.  Also 
some QSO parties (SD, IL, NY) as well as WAG and some other less well known 
tests.  And of course for the night owls among us, The Stew!   A full weekend 
to be sure.

So if you need a RTTY checkout before the weekend, please join us Thursday 
evening and exercise your equipment and fingers.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  20 Oct 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 19 Oct 2017 in NA)
