[PPRAANet] New RTTY Contest

[DickT-W0RAA]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Michael.

The date should read Sunday Dec. 4th from 0000-2400 UTC.  So that would 
equate to
5 PM Saturday evening Local time to 5 PM Sunday evening, Local time.  I get 
easily
confused with the UTC times.

Start at 5 PM Saturday which would be 0000 UTC, Sunday, Dec. 4.
End at 5 PM Sunday evening, which would be 2400 Sunday, Dec. 4th.

Hope that clears it up.  Again, thanks.
