ARRL RTTY Rookie Roundup Not Just for Newbies

The ARRL Rookie Roundup <http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup>  returns to
RTTY Sunday, August 17, 1800 UTC through 2359 UTC. This event provides a
unique opportunity for new operators (licensed 3 years or fewer) to gain
RTTY contesting skills. Rookie Roundup events take place three times a year:
SSB in April, RTTY in August, and CW in December. 

During the contest Rookies can work anyone, while veteran operators only
work Rookies. Experienced hams are also encouraged to host Rookies at their
stations and to provide guidance during the contest. Single-Operator Rookie
entrants can form teams, but teams must register
<http://www.b4h.net/arrlrr/rr_teamsubmission.php>  beforehand. A
multioperator category is also available for stations hosting more than one
Rookie operator. 

Rookies call "CQ RR" (CQ Rookie Roundup), while veteran ops call "CQ R" (CQ
Rookies). Exchange the call sign of the station you're working, your call
sign, your first name, the two-digit number of the year first you were
licensed, and your state, Canadian province, Mexican call area, or DX. 

RTTY Rookie Roundup participants can log the contest using either the paper
<http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20Forms/ARRL%20Rookie%20Roundup%20Lo
g%20Sheet.pdf>  forms provided on the Rookie Roundup web
<http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup>  page or by using the real-time In The
Log <http://www.inthelog.com/>  website. Once the contest is over and you've
calculated your score, complete the Rookie Roundup Online Score Submission
Form <http://www.b4h.net/arrlrr/rr_scoresubmission.php>  to submit your
score; no logs are necessary. Entrants must fill out this form to enter, and
all entries are due within 72 hours (3 days) of the end of the contest.
