The Northern California Contest Club runs weekly RTTY practice 
sprints on Fridays,   0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday evening in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Last two minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.
-- 100W power limit

Please visit <http://www.ncccsprint.com/rttyns.html> for 
complete rules and links to other info. If you find any problems 
with the web pages, please let me know so we can get them fixed.

This can provide a good source of RTTY signals for listening, 
and you're more than welcome to join the fun.

BTW, when I play in this sprint, I'm using the CAT interface 
from my computer to send and receive via the K3's RTTY support.
