[PPRAANet] FT8 Round Up This Weekend

[Steve KT0DX]

For you FT8/FT4 operators there is a fun contest that begins 1800 UTC 
Saturday, ends 2359 UTC Sunday (*December 5-6, 2020). That would be 11 
AM 5 Dec to 4 PM 6 Dec.  You can operate FT8 and/or FT4, I usually use 
FT4 due to the speed.  The rules for this can be found at 
http://www.rttycontesting.com/ft-roundup/rules/.  Even if you are not 
into the contesting it would be a good time to fill in the holes for WAS 
and maybe even work some DX.  If you have N1MM use ARRL RTTY as the 
contest and tor N3FJP use RTTY Round UP if you ordered the whole 
package.  I know if you use N1MM+ you can config the program to log 
contacts from WSJT-X to N1MM+ log. You can find how to do this in the 
documentation for N1MM+ under The WSJT Decode List Window.  One word of 
caution and that is if you have your radio computer controlled  DO NOT 
configure it in N1MM.  Just configure the radio in WSJT-X.*

*If there is anyone who does not have a station at home and you want to 
play in the FT8 Round Up I can set everything up at the club station 
prior to Saturday.  The radio will be a ICOM 756RO using a MicroHam 
interface.  I have 1 club computer configured with N1MM and WSJT-X to 
work together.  I can meet you at the club station to set everything up 
and show you how to use the program.  I can go out to the club station 
thru Friday. If no one wants to use the club station and you have an 
antenna at home I may also make arrangements to bring the radio and 
computer to your location for the week end.  If any of this is of 
interest just drop me an e mail at KT0DX at Q.Com.

*NOTE:  ALL EQUIPMENT WILL BE SANITIZED BEFORE YOU USE IT.

*First one to take the offer gets the offer.*

*Steve (KT0DX)*
