Seasons Greetings CTRI Contesters,
I hope everyone was able to get on the air last weekend for the ARRL 10 Meter Contest. I especially hope that everyone had a much better time than I did; the spirits of propagation were ignoring me.
Next on the CTRI Contest Calendar is the ARRL RTTY Roundup on Saturday 1800 UTC through Sunday 2400 UTC January 2nd and 3rd. Everybody works everybody. Multipliers are states/provinces and DXCC. Full rules are here:

For a tune-up for the Roundup you might want to play some in the OK DX RTTY Contest. It runs this Saturday December 19th 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC. That is, it starts at 7:00 PM tonight – Friday.

Additional details of the upcoming CTRI Calendar:
a. No meeting scheduled for December.
b. A holiday luncheon has been discussed for January but, to my knowledge, no date or venue has been established. The North Kingstown Library is not available for a meeting in January.
c. The next scheduled meeting is February 6th 1030 AM at the NK Library. Remember this will be held in the small conference room on the lower level and comes with restrictions.
I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
