[HCRA] Dave K1tt's latest news, for all you contesters..

[Jim Harrington]

Ok, the fall schedule is filling up nicely, but there is still a notable
opening for SS CW!  Let me know if you want that one soon, I will offer it
to the general YCCC list by next weekend.  There are 3 or 4 operators for
CQWW RTTY, anyone else interested?  We can teach the basics pretty quick if
you want to learn.  RTTY contesting is relatively low pressure and very
similar to cw operating, except you don't have to copy it yourself.  It does
help to have good keyboard skills and general familiarity with N1MM Logger
use.  The ARRL 10m contest is also open for anyone who wants to do lots of
CQing and get good nights of sleep.

9/15-16 open
9/22-23 open
9/29-30 CQWW RTTY K1TTT M/2 or M/M 
10/6-7 CQP - w1ue
10/13-14 open
10/20-21 open
10/27-28 CQWW SSB K1TTT M/M early signup anyone??  
11/3-4 SS CW - open!
11/10-11 WAE RTTY - np3d
11/17-18 SS SSB - NJ1F
11/24-25 CQWW CW K1TTT M/M early signup anyone??  Wo1n coordinating.
12/1-2 ARRL 160m - n2kw
12/8-9 ARRL 10m - open

I am also doing some more work on the Operating Manual.  I have been pretty
busy this summer with other stuff so haven't done much on this.  I hope to
make it not only an intro for new operators but something to keep everyone
up to date on current configurations and maybe even predicted conditions
just before a contest.  Anyone that wants to help out please send me
comments and updates.  You can see it at:
