The NTC Anniversary Party

Every year on January 31 which is the founding date of the NTC, we will organize the NTC anniversary party. It is not a contest but a place and time to meet NTC members and other CW lovers and to have a relaxed QSO. Please adjust your speed to the speed of your QSO partner.

Please call CQ NTC to participate.
