Tomorrow, Sunday, August 15th from Noon (local time) to 6 PM (local time) is
the ARRL Rookie Roundup Contest.
This contest is for newly licensed amateurs who were licensed in 2008, 2009
or 2010. If you were previously licensed prior to those years and let your
license expire and then were relicensed during any of those 3 years, you do
not qualify as a Rookie. I would suggest that anybody who might be
interested in my offer to read the information at
http://www.arrl.org/hf-operating-guidelines.
Here's my offer:
I have a complete contest station consisting of the following:
Yaesu FT-950 - 100 watts
Yaesu FT-857D - 100 watts
Ameritron AL-811 Amplifier - Cannot be used in this contest
Hy-Gain TH5DX Beam - 5 elements on a 40' crank-up tower
Butternut HF9V Vertical - ground mounted
I would like to extend an invitation to any one new ham who would like to
participate in the Rookie Roundup contest from Noon till 6 PM tomorrow
(Sunday). You can be a Technician Class, General Class or Extra Class and
use your own call with my station license privileges, Extra Class. You may
operate only SSB during this contest. The program used for logging will be
WriteLog v10.78.
I can accommodate one and possibly 2 hams in my shack. First come, first
served.
If you are interested, please call me at 520-0288 here in Colorado Springs
before the end of today.
