			<description><![CDATA[Hello EVERYBODY!<br />
<br />
Just wanted you all to know that I am still deployed and that is why I have not been on the air or posted on this forum for a long time. Not sure when I come back but be rest assured I will hit the repeater when I get back...I have my HT with me so I may even hit it when the plane lands so keep those ears open. Until then, 73's <br />

			<title><![CDATA[Calling All Rookies -- and Non-Rookies, Too! Get On the Air for the ARRL Rookie Round]]></title>
			<link>http://www.kc2elx.net/forum/thread-6.html</link>

			<description><![CDATA[The ARRL Rookie Roundup is designed to help newly licensed amateurs build their operating skills on HF. It is a contest specifically for those new to Amateur Radio, similar to the ARRL Novice Roundup that ran from 1952 until 1995. The Rookie Roundup brings the fun and Elmering of the old Novice Roundup into the 21st century. Three Rookie Roundups will be held each calendar year: SSB in April, RTTY in August and CW in December.<br />
<br />
The Rookie Roundup will be scored 100 percent in real time through the <a href="http://www.getscores.org" target="_blank">http://www.getscores.org</a> scoring system. There are three ways to participate: by using your favorite logging software with the real time scoring support, by downloading a simple logging program from the <a href="http://www.getscores.org" target="_blank">http://www.getscores.org</a> Web site or by logging your contacts directly into a <a href="http://www.getscores.org" target="_blank">http://www.getscores.org</a> Web page. No separate logs are required -- it all happens online in real time and final scores will be available online within hours of the end of the contest! More information is available on all of these options at <a href="http://www.getscores.org" target="_blank">http://www.getscores.org</a>. Of course, you can get on the air and make contacts without logging them, but you won't have as much fun!<br />
<br />
Who Can Participate? <br />
Any ham licensed for 3 years or less qualifies as a Rookie. If you were licensed in 2008, 2009 or 2010, you can compete in the 2010 Rookie Roundup. Non-Rookies may only work Rookies, while Rookies may work everybody. A major part of the success of this contest will be non-Rookies getting on the air and working the Rookies, just as in the Novice Roundup. Just like in the Novice Roundups of years past (when Novices could work anyone and non-Novices could only work Novices), Rookies may work anyone, be they Rookie or non-Rookie; however, non-Rookies are limited to only working Rookies.<br />
<br />
Entry Categories <br />
Single Operator Rookie, limited to a maximum of 100 W. Spotting assistance or using call sign and frequency alerting systems is allowed, but self-spotting or asking somebody to spot you is not. All Rookies must identify themselves as a rookie. Example: "Kilo Bravo One Quebec Alfa Whiskey, Rookie." Non-Rookies only need give their call; no designation is needed.<br />
<br />
Awards <br />
Certificates will be available for all participants to download. The top five high scores from each US call area, Canadian province and Mexican call area will be recognized on their certificate. No national winners will be recognized. <br />
<br />
Go to <a href="http://www.getscores.org" target="_blank">http://www.getscores.org</a> for more information on how to participate. Be sure to check out the April 2010 issue of QST for complete rules and other information. The Rookie Roundup -- a fun event for all amateurs!<br />

Major things that need to be talked about in a actual meeting would include speditures of a large sum of money, activites at the club, and the meeting just before and after Field Day.]]></description>
