AB7BB  
So much fun for my last RR! Thank you to all my contacts.
 
AC8XO  
Bands weren't the best but it was fun
 
AD0KH  
Thanks to the stations that worked me.  And thanks to the ARRL staff for setting this up.  It was
fun!  73 Karl
 
AE0EE  
Band conditions were tough, with no action above 20 m.  Even on 20 m, the signals were up and down
rapidly.

It was great to hear all the rookie stations on the air, and particularly the ones calling CQ.  Many
thanks to AB7BB and N3BBQ for two bands.

I hope to hear you on again soon!
 
AF5AF  
Hope hoping for more participation and obviously better conditions but still made some good contacts
and met some fine hams.  Looking forward to next year.  Thanks to all who worked with me.  73s
 
K1ECU  
Thanks for the opportunity to practice my rookie CW skills.
 
K6PO  
Conditions rather poor and not much activity, but fun for the few contacts I did make. 

Note: http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup under Awards says: "Non-rookies submitting a check log will
be recognized by call in the final results" but under Score Submission Deadlines says "no logs
are... accepted". So, should probably change "submitting a check log" to "submitting a score".
 
K8SHB  
First year on CW.
 
KA0REN  
Nice C W from rookies !  I enjoyed all 3 QSOs
 
KB4IRR  
A very fun Sunday afternoon. Much respect to any Rookie who will take it upon himself or herself to
learn Morse. These people are getting ham radio right. Thank you for putting on this event.
 
KC1YL  
Thanks for all the help.
 
KD9GKL  
First HF contest   Thank you to all that called 

Happy Holidays
 
KE8EAS  
Total score: 800
 
KG5BIU  
I want to thank all the operators that stuck through the QSO's with me!!!!  If it wasn't for their
patience, I wouldn't have made it through.  This is my first and last CW RR I get to attend, but I
will say it has given me the confidence to go CW full speed ahead.

It was a pleasure and I hope to see all on the bands in the future!!

KG5HVO  
This was my first time participating in the Rookie Roundup.  I had a great time but wish it was a
pretty slow start.  I scored 360 points total with 15 different sections.  Not bad for a 12 year
old!  73, good DX, and Merry Christmas!  Bryant KG5HVO
 
KK9JEF  
Lots of patient ops and gentle pileups!
 
N1FD  
Jamey (KC1ENX) and Abby (KC1FFX) Finchum operated in a multi-op entry using the Nashua Area Radio
Club callsign, N1FD, host at the AB1QB/AB1OC station. We all had a great time and improved our CW
skills! Looking forward to the next Rookie Roundup!
 
N7WY  
not much luck hearing stations exchanging 14, 15 or 16
