Last Rookie Roundup for me as a rookie! Had fun! |

I had a great time this afternoon meeting and working those who are the future of Amateur Radio. 73, AF3I |

Band conditions seemed very rough today, but appreciate all the ops who made QSOs with us rookies! Wondering why total unique DX entities is asked for when only 1 generic DX multiplier is given? (5.2.4) Wouldn't submitting a Cabrillo file be easier? |

N1MM / MMTTY / K3 / Delta Loop in palm trees. I was surprised at how many DX callers I had. Unfortunately, only 3 of them sent me the year in which they were first licensed. Bulk of activity was on 20m, but was able to work a few on 40m. Nothing on 10m or 15m heard in SFL and no replies to my CQs on those two band. Thanks for the Qs! 73 KK4CIS |

As a bit of a RTTY Rookie myself, I enjoyed working a few Rookies and even bagged a couple of DX stations that called in. I wish we'd had better conditions but you get what you get! |

First time in the Rookie Roundup for RTTY. |

This was my first experience with rtty and I found that I liked it more than ssb/phone, as it was quite enjoyable. |

Conditions on 20 meters seemed to shift during first 3 hours and signals were up and down. My last chance to operate as a rookie was fun and I look forward to working the rookies for years to come. I operated portable from 1829 to 2128 utc on solar / battery power using a MP-1 antenna from DM43ee. Thank You both Rookies' and Vets for the contacts.. 73's de WX7MB Mark |
