Calling All Rookies -- and Non-Rookies, Too! Get On the Air for the ARRL Rookie Round

[ARRL]

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. In 2010, look for the ARRL Rookie Roundup from 1800-2359 UTC on April 18 (SSB), August 15 (RTTY) and December 19 (CW).
