This weekend (Sunday) is the ARRL Rookie Roundup, which should be a good
introduction to contesting for contest "rookies". For the purpose of the
Rookie Roundup, a "rookie" is defined as someone who has been licensed for
three years or less, regardless of license class. If you received your
license in 2008, 2009 or 2010, you are eligible to compete as a rookie.
Non-rookies are encouraged to work the rookies and be an Elmer to those just
starting out. It is an immediate, hands-on way to teach good operating
practices to those just getting started.

 

I would be happy to Elmer any contest rookie who would like to come out and
participate. The contest runs from 1800 to 2359 UTC (10:00 am to 4:00 pm) on
Sunday. I'll be at the AARC club station so come on out. I would appreciate
a heads up if you plan to come out but it's not necessary. I can't guarantee
great band conditions, but we should have fun anyway.
