Comments:
I was originally a ham in 1969 and have used FT8, but I had never used RTTY. I noticed that the Rookie Roundup allows allows one to participate a single year as a rookie new to RTTY, which is a nice way to gain first exposure to the mode. It was also good to see the various clubs and non-rookies on the air being patient with those of us new to mode. Given the experience, it should help to re-read the RTTY section of ARRL's "Get on the Air with HF Digital", attempt even more QSOs, and maybe help out as a non-rookie next year.
