Thank you so much to all my contacts. Thank you especially to the non-rookies for your help and
patience. I have learned so much from this experience. 73

Another great Rookie roundup!

Thanks for helping make this event happen!
It was my 1st Rookie Roundup as a Rookie, and I enjoyed operating SSB, as I generally only work CW.

Submitting log so rookies will get credit for my qso.

This entry Form Could Be Better

My First Contest to enter, enjoyed it very much.

I did not have much time to be OTA on this day, but wanted to jump in for my "last hurrah" as a
Rookie. I'm new to contesting, and enjoy it very much. Good luck to all the participants! 73!

As a very new ham, this was my first time contesting and I really enjoyed it. We even got Poland,
which was pretty amazing! Worked 15 and 20 meters and had a lot of company. We had a great time
while it lasted -- halfway through a strong cold front moved in with a tornado watch and way to much
QRN to be able to understand stations calling us back.  Thanks to all who repeated their calls
multiple times, but it was just too noisy.  Hope conditions will  be better next time.  73s!

I operated station K4RHB with Robert Burns, station licensee, present as control operator. This was
my first year participating and had a great time. Thanks so much for the opportunity to have fun in
the Rookie Roundup.

Had a BLAST!!  Thanks!

A real joy to make contact with fresh, enthusiastic voices.  The hobby's future is in great hands!

CA7CAQ Chile dx, KD5ZZK NM rookie using 5W QRP-pretty good for the band conditions on contest day,
worked 20m, 15m, 10m - 80 & 40m pretty dead here at qt..

Thanks to KG7RTR for forming a team with me, and K7MO for helping us out all day.  Also, thanks to
the Radio Club of Tacoma (W7DK) for use of the antennas.

Do you need my log file?

First time for me.  I had fun.  Band conditions were a little rough but I still had fun.

I had a great time with a 6 hour pile up. Thank you for being so helpful and patient. I am sorry
this is my last year as a rookie!

First licensed December 2013.

Wow, what a blast! I had tons of fun and would recommend the contest to any rookies out there.

First time on HF. Just got my Gen 3 month ago. Had a lot of fun.

This was a lot of fun.. 73s

I had a lot of fun, and got some great experience. Thanks to all the veteran operators who took the
time to participate!

Had a great time, and I learned a lot.

Had a great time, Thanks!

First Rookie Roundup was quite fun, but DX conditions aren't usually too favorable here at OHIO (I
have a 2-zone call) QTH for any length of time with the current working conditions. Note: Name on
Callsign is Chris C Trifari. One DX station exchanged everything except his call, a QRM station
blasted him out. Not counting him, too bad, would have been RR 5th.

This was an interesting afternoon. New radio + new antenna + new ham would make for a quasy
impossible outcome but, even though the bands seemed very noisy today, managed to make a few
contact.

Had alot of fun, I will definately be doing this again next year!

Very busy in the last hour. All of my contacts were great people. Fun time!

This was a great time for me...Thanks to all the operators that answered my call.

First RR, it was FUN!
jc

I had a blast, hate that this is my last RR for phone.

First contest.  Great time. :)

463 TTL POINT?

Tried on 10m for a long time but couldn't make any contacts, so switched to 20m with my husband as
Control Op and was able to participate. Wish I had done this earlier so I could have spoken to more
people! Thank you for your QSOs!

Thank you for this event!!  For me it was a terrific introduction to contesting.  Loved talking with
other rookies and the encouragement of experienced hams.

This was great, I was able to understand contesting. Was able to do CQ, all was very helpful, Thank
You for having the Rookie Roundup.

I have only had my license 3 weeks. I had a blast. I would have done better had the weather in the
midwest cooperated. LOL Thanks!
Mitch

Licensed for three days, since April 17, 2015.  A real rookie at 12 years old.

Fun time again this year.  Look forward to helping the rookies next year.

Need to work on my General, so I can play on other bands than just 10. With the good antennas at my
dads station, I could be very competitive if I could work on more bands... See how it goes next
year.

Rough day on the airwaves at 10w on an end-fed vertical.  At least I got to test out my portable
setup with a few new additions.  Looking to set up for the RTTY version in August.  Summer
conditions and RTTY efficiency should yield better results.

Also operated 15 and 20 meters under W1DGL and KG7GLW

I had a lot of fun this year during the Roundup, and was looking forward to putting the new K4KIO
hex-beam to use for an improved score over last years effort. Needless to say, I wasn't let down; I
worked 42 US states, an Italian station off of the back of the beam, and provinces in Canada and in
the Northeast of the US off of the side.

Static crashes on all the bands prior to the roundup starting indicated that it was going to be a
challenge to pull out weak stations and a duke-out for a frequency from other high-power stations on
20m. I started out on 10m, and made a few contacts before the band just fell away. I ventured to
20m, and heard the band abuzz with rookies and non-rookies alike calling each other. I did a few S&P
QSO's and planned on coming back later when the activity died down toward the end. 15m was very
good, although the noise level kept rising as the storms moved closer.

After a mandatory break imposed by Mother Nature (I had to unplug due to thunderstorms and
lightning), I managed to find a frequency on 20m. It was both thrilling and intimidating to feel
what it was like to be on the end of trying to work a pileup instead of trying to break the pileup.
There were so many stations that were pleasant and patient, it was really encouraging to work more
rookies than I had expected. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this sprint a success and
fun for all participants.

73 de Mark

Had a blast!  It was really great to work other YLs on the band too.  Great also to talk to WWII
Veteran!  I really enjoy the QSOs with the really long time hams.  I will really miss this contest,
but looking forward to helping other rookies in future years.  Thanks to all contacts and ARRL for
the good time!  73 to all de KK4UBQ

First time competing in the Rookie Roundup, and I loved it!

Thank you for the contest.  It was fun.

Please disregard the previous entry I submitted. the total qsos with rookies was wrong, thought it
was total over all. this is the correct one. thank you.

Thanks for the contest. 73, kk4zuu

Had a great time and learned so much about contesting and will continue with contesting! Great to
hear from Japan! So much more to learn

I had a good time. I'm 10 years old and everyone was very nice to me.

Lots of fun in contest. Conditions were fair with lots of static from Lightning in state. Had to
quit early due to storm moving into local area. Operated on 20 meters only since lots of stations to
work.

Fun time handing out some points to rookies!

Only worked a short time to give Rookies some contacts.  The best operator I heard was AB7BB.

Good fun again.

Nice to hear so many newer people on the air. In the background of some QSOs I could hear a coach
helping the person make the contact. That's great!

END-OF-LOG:

Had fun giving "contest" contacts to the rookies.

Did not have a lot of time to participate but appreciated the enthusiasm of the "rookie" stations
calling CQ

NJ2SP is a club call for the South Plainfield Amateur Radio Club located in South Plainfield, NJ.The
club was founded in 2014 and all Rookie Roundup (3) operators were licensed in 2014. A single
transmitter was used.

My first time on 10 meters!  Really cool to work other rookies and some DX in Europe.  What a great
hobby.  73 - Ray, NP2PS

Wow, what great activity! Had a great time handing out an ARRL HQ station to all the Rookies.
Looking forward to the Digital version in August; hope to work more Rookies then.

Sean KX9X

What a fun time working Rookies during the 2015 April SSB Rookie Roundup.  Everyone sounded great
and did an excellent job handling the exchange.  Thank you to all of the Rookies who participated
and a big thank you to the Non-Rookies who were there to provide lots of contacts for the Rookies. I
look forward to hearing everyone again in August for the RTTY Rookie Roundup. 

73, 

Matt Wilhelm, W1MSW 
ARRL Contest Branch Manager

All contacts on 10 meters

This was a lot of fun!!!

Thanks to ARRL for the Rookie Roundup! We had a great time. My XYL was my second/relief operator and
before the roundup, hadn't been on the air very much. After the fun she had in the event, I'm sure
she will be on the air more often. The 20m band was up and down all day, and we lost a few QSO's in
the mud, but it taught us to work harder to make those contacts and not just give up on them. We
want to thank ARRL for the event, and to all those operators, both rookies and old timers, who spent
their time with us on the air today. 73 to all of you!

Enjoyed the event.  Wish band conditions were better but hand a fun time...

First contest great! Last few minute pileup was amazing to work through!

Got some good airtime for the Southern Illinois University - Carbondale Amateur Radio Club, W9UIH.
As a vast majority of club members are rookies, this gave us a great opportunity we couldn't resist.
Had a great time despite limited antenna capability due to weather.

enjoyed working new hams.

hopefully helped some folks out with some qso points, I had a good time for a lazy Sunday afternoon

The call, WA6YBN, is the call of the Sierra Amateur Radio Club. The two rookies, KK6TAZ and KK6LKK,
did all the QSOs.  We had a number of elmers and a good time was had by all.

This was my first year in the ARRL Rookie Round Up Contest and I really enjoyed it. Thanks everyone
for their contacts and see you next again year for this contest!
