Thank's for the fun operating event!  The band conditions were poor.
I am hoping for better band conditions, during CW portion in December. 73 - Don.

Tough afternoon, bands were poor, it was Easter Sunday, but it was still a lot of fun. I learned a
lot and have a lot to learn

I heard only 2 rookie stations all afternoon. KL7TH was strong for a few minutes and then
disappeared. KG5LYQ faded in and out a few times but he could not hear me.

I only had about 20 minutes between Easter events, so I jumped on and worked a few fellow rookies.

Having the RR on Easter Sunday was a ridiculous idea. In the few minutes I was able to be at my
radio, I didn't find too many rookies calling CQ either. Better planning Guys!!!!

Propagation was cruel, only opening up for me in the last 30 minutes.

Band conditions were not good, fair on 20

Good day! Does this score sheet need to be submitted with a log? The QRM didn't allow for many QSO's
but I'd like to properly submit the meager few that I have.
Thanks + 73!

Glad I got to participate, if even for only 2hours, as it's my last year for the SSB contest. 
Conditions were better this year.  Highlight was making contact with my NPOTA friend Ruth, KM4LAO. 
I would not recommend having such a contest on a major holiday weekend though.

I had a lot fun during this contest! I am 12 years old and I got my license in 2016. I'm looking
forward to next years rookie roundup!

I was super excited for my first rookie roundup - but the bands didn't start cooperating until the
last hour! I think I did pretty well for working with a hamstick dipole on an apartment balcony.

the contacts!

Had a lot of fun today!
I chased for a while, and then called CQ towards the end.
Thank you to the stations for making contacts with me. This was my first Rookie Roundup, and I'll be
sure to be back next year! Thanks!

Lots of QRN in my location, and had to take time out for the Easter holiday, but I still had a great
time.  Conditions improved for IA contacts late in the day.  Also thrilled to make a ME rookie
contact with Cory KC1FKH, my furthest east QSO to date.

Thanks for a great first contest. A lot of support from the experienced HAM's, was much appreciated.
The rookie contacts did great with their exchanges. I had a good time and can't wait for the next
contest.

This was my second time doing the SSB Rookie Roundup and my final year as a rookie. I had a
wonderful time participating from Michigan! Thank you for all the QSOs. I am looking forward to
Rookie Roundup CW in December and then participating as a non-rookie in the future!

Hi!
Band conditions at my QTH were terrible! I made 2 QSO's with two different operators using the same
club call sign N1FD; Aron 15, and Abby 16. Since they were both rookies I counted them both. I
probably should have asked for their personal call signs but I did not think about this problem
until after the contest. If this is incorrect then you will need to deduct 1 QSO from the rookie
station total above. My Elmer, Mark N1LO has been trying to get me to call CQ for months now; I
finally did this in the last 20 minutes of the contest and made a QSO with HAWAII  !!!  Thanks

Great contest.  The new operators had a great time working in the contest and were able to improve
their operating skills during the course of the contest.  Thanks to the ARRL for arranging the
contest and giving new operators this opportunity!

10 minutes to go!

Is there some rule that the bands finally open up for the last 30 minutes of the contest? Still lots
of fun, my last year.

Worked every rookie I could hear on 20 meters but conditions were not the best. Regardless,
enjoyable and relaxing for us ole timers too!

[log content removed]

Operated from the PCARS Club Station and everyone had a great time. We only operated for 4 hours out
of the 6. The 20 meter band was very active and the rookies made lots of contacts. The rookies are
looking forward to the Rookie RTTY contest where they will defend their past score.

I hope I calculated this right.

Do I need to send my qso log file?
Thanks
