[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Fwd: Contest Clubs Update - RTTY Roundup

[Ian]

FT8 and the ARRL RTTY Roundup (http://www.arrl.org/rtty-roundup) is just a
couple weeks away (January 5-6, 2019).  This is an event, since its
announcement in November 1988 QST, that not only promotes RTTY, but in this
new event it also promoted using all digital modes that existed at that
time, and those that would follow.  As we enter 2019, now some 30 years
later, our newest popular mainstream digital mode (FT8) is poised to bring
activity to new levels.  In January 2019 QST (p.72-73), Joe Taylor, K1JT,
presented an article as a how-to for ARRL RTTY Roundup (now with and FT8)
to assist participants.  As your club members head into the holidays,
here's a link to that article that they may review as they prepare for the
event (see
