RTTY gains another contest
--------------------------
Another RTTY contest will commence from this year.  The  total
is  growing testifying to the popularity and usability of this
mode at any time of the sun-cycle.

This  contest will be run by the Polish RTTY Society and  will
take  place on the last full weekend in April in every  second
year. Mode will be Baudot only.

It  is  good to see new contests coming in,  there  have  been
several  started  in  the  last  two  or  three   years,   and
particularly  good  to  have  one established in  what  was  a
country restricted  by previous governmental practices.

Perhaps more countries from that region will become interested
in running contests in the HF digital modes, we hope so.

The  rules  will be published in April so  keep  watching  and
please support this new contest -- give them a good start.

Information and rules supplied by VK2SG.

ANARTS April meeting

Please  note that, because of Easter, the meeting will be  put
back  a week until Friday 8th April.  This is normal  practice
when  the meeting clashes with a public holiday,  and the  1st
April is Good Friday. 

Hope to see some of you there. Time is 7.30 pm and takes place
at  the QTH of Keith VK2ZZO.  For further information  contact
Col VK2CTD,  Jim VK2BQS, or Pat VK2JPA (work 230 3722). Supper

Paper for Teleprinters
----------------------
Please,  PLEASE,  does  anyone want some teleprinter paper,  I
have boxes of it.  It is triplex paper (three sheets of paper,
two sheets of carbon paper),  you can have it for the cost  of
freight  (you  pay the freight).  This paper will work in  any
pressure  machine,  or even typewriters,  no good for  tractor
machines. When you unroll it you finish up with three rolls of
paper  and two rolls of carbon paper.  The paper you can  use,
the carbon -- well you can give it to the children to mess  up
the  house.  Don't  worry about the amount you  want,  I  have
enough.

Contact Syd VK2SG, phone 02-631 2576 or ok in the call book.
