[SMCARA] All Please Read - Rookie Roundup

[Jason Rearick]

Tom,  I have opened my station to two newly licensed tech's.  I am planning 
on letting them run my callsign, so they can operate with extra class 
privileges from 80 to 10M.  As a control operator you can not transmit to 
make contacts, and you are not allowed to do the logging.  I talked to a 
gentleman at the ARRL contesting division today about how to operate as a 
multi op station.  If you are running multi op, both rookies would have to 
pick one name and one year for their check and maintain that exchange 
throughout the Round Up.  Plan on letting them have some good fun and get 
their teeth wet on the HF bands.

April 19th (Sunday) from 1800Z to 2359Z (2PM to 8PM local) is the ARRL
Rookie Round-up http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup



I'm looking for anyone who would be willing to lend your station and
experience to our newly licensed technicians.  Jason, N3YUG, is opening his
station to two newbies (and he is the inspiration for this).



If you have some time on that Sunday afternoon, have a HF-SSB 10 Meter
capability, and can help coach a technician at your QTH, please let me know
and I'll put together a list of people.  You'll need to help them set-up a
log (paper or computer), remind them of their frequency privileges, and help
them through a couple of contacts (see the ARRL link above).  Ideally, I'd
like to see every experienced Ham in our club hooked up with every newly
licensed tech (but I know that's unrealistic).



For paper logs, I'll help with putting together a Cabrillo file.  For a
computerized log - I'll help anyone that doesn't have a contest logger set
one up.  You'll be expected to provide them a Cabrillo file and .ADI (both
generated by the logging program) at the end of the contest (they'll bring a
thumbdrive).



Expect them to show up around 1:00-ish to get familiar with your rig and
stay for at least a few hours (total time is up to you, even 2-3 hours would
be great).



Please reply to me with your station's availability (times) and I'll compile
a list of host stations - I'll be putting out something for the techs in a
few days (depending on how many host stations respond) and I'll hook the two
of you up.
