[SMCARA] Rookie Round-up (CW)

[Tom Shelton]

Dust off those keys and paddles! The CW Rookie Roundup - the last Rookie
Roundup event for 2013 - takes place Sunday, December 22, 1800 through 2359
UTC (1300-1859 local time). This is an excellent opportunity for new
operators - this event defined as having been first licensed in the current
calendar year or the previous two calendar years, regardless of license
class - to get on the air and learn new skills.

The idea behind the Rookie Roundup events is to encourage newly-licensed
operators ("Rookies") in North America (including territories and
possessions) to experience competitive Amateur Radio operating on HF.
Experienced operators are encouraged to participate and help the newcomers
on the air or in person.

Old Timers, look for newer ops and inspire and instill your love for the
"original digital mode" and consider hosting a ham radio newcomer or two at
your station. The more operators on the air, the more fun.

Review the rules (http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup) before the event and
get familiar with logging and log submission. We hope to hear you on the
air! The Rookie Roundup returns to SSB on Sunday, April 20, and to RTTY next
August 17
