All the Rookies had such a great time and it was amazing to hear such nice comments from
non-Rookies. The ham community is amazing. I look very forward to RR SSB 2027 same place, same time.

Enjoyed meeting a few rookies although propagation was not great in Virginia, seemed to be limited
to 20 meters.  There were half a dozen stations I heard running a frequency for several hours and
they were doing great. I tried calling CQ Rookies quite a bit but never got a call back from a
rookie.

Would have liked to work more rookies stations but conditions were not good.  Some had just been
issued their licenses or like Mandy NE0H just upgraded to Extra class 3 weeks earlier.
