Summary

My very first experience with HF was extremely fun. Thanks to my club members W7RIL (Riley) and N7IY (Peter) and the use of the club station W7PXL, I was able to reach out farther than the 2m/440 repeaters I have been able to experience so far. My focus on General and Extra just shifted into overdrive from this experience! Thank you! Jason W7PXL/K7JLP, OR

That's what it's all about, Jason! As RR continues to grow, it is beginning to take on the flavor of the fondly-remembered Novice Roundup contests so many of us old-timers enjoyed and used to jump-start our radiosport careers. Just as the old Novices had two years of Novice-hood, today's RR participants have their three years in the sun before moving on to bigger and better things. Such as? I saw both Anna W6NN and Joanna K6YL having a great time at the recent International DX Convention in Visalia, California (https://picasaweb.google.com/rawilson/2013VisaliaInternationalDXConvention) - the two of them had an epic competition during their years of RR eligibility and they've both built on that experience. Today's Rookies will, too!

Terrific turnout - this time around saw entries with 98 different calls and 114 Rookie operators! How about that 4th district with 23 single-op entries, the 6th district at 15, and a dozen from the 7th? Can we keep the trend headed up?

We had quite a race at the top among our western Single-Operator Rookies. Amanda KK6CWV piloted the Stanford Radio Club station W6YX overlooking Silicon Valley to the top at 12,348 points in a squeaker over Jared N7SMI who was only 253 points behind at 12,095 from Utah. Back east, Anita AB1QB scored 11,736 from NH to finish ahead of Joanne AK4RJ from NC who had 10,296 points. Anita also made the most QSOs of any entry with 80 Rookie and 166 non-Rookie QSOs. While Amanda was cranking out the QSOs, the other W6YX operating position was busy hosting several other entries, as well - how full was that parking lot anyway?

This time around was a high-water mark for the Multioperator category with 7 entries and 21 operators, including KJ5WRN who had just upgraded to General! The two-Rookie team at N8HR (KD8PIR and KD8UAY) topped the Multiop ranks and made the biggest score in the contest (12,943 points) with 226 QSOs. All you radio clubs out there - let's get more of our new hams on the HF bands with multioperator entries in the August RTTY contest!

Good DX was out there, too. It's great to see Ali HZ1TT and Felix KP4MF in the results, too - welcome! I hope we have more DX stations in the results of future Rookie Roundups, especially for the digital and CW versions. We can all encourage DX Rookies from around the world to join the fun.

A special thank-you to our cyber-host, Bruce WA7BNM, for creating the on-line reporting system. While a true real-time solution to contesting remains elusive, we continue to take steps in that direction. Bruce has extended his highly successful reporting format from the ARRL Frequency Measuring Tests (www.b4h.net/fmt/fmtresults201304.php) to provide quick reporting for the RR, too:

- publication of results immediately at the score submission deadline for future Rookie Roundups
- automatic sorting of the results and certificate generation
- full information from each station, including soapbox comments both with the station information and in a summary below the scores - always interesting reading!
- score summaries for past contests (including all three 2012 Rookie Roundups)

Great contest! 100 watts makes it interesting to find a spot and CQ, lots of rookies at the same frequencies I'm sure made it interesting for the veterans who came back us. Above all, thank you to all the non-rookie stations willing to take the time and give a rookie a point! Tony KD0TSX, MO

As always, thanks to the non-Rookies, including some Rookie Roundup veterans, who got on the air to make contacts and help the new hams: AB9XI AF5Q AF6RR AK4QU K1BG K7JKM KB6NU KD4QMY KD8OSD KF5BA KX9X N5XG VA3EEB W6JWP.

Comments:

AB1QB   Rookie   NH

This was a great introduction to SSB contesting. I really enjoyed working the pileups on 20m - it helped to give me the confidence to work SSB as K2K in the upcoming 13 Colonies event the week of July 4. Thanks to all who worked me and for your kind words and encouragement!

AE7DW   Rookie   AZ

With bad starting conditions, I thought things could only get better... These were the worst propagation conditions I have ever encountered in my 11 months of being licensed (Hi-Hi)... I am very proud of all the contacts I made; I really had to work for them!!! Best contest ever!!! Thank you to all of the great radio operators that hung in there and dug me out of the noise..you guys and gals are awesome!!! My sincerest apologies to those I could not get through to or pull out of the noise. 73 de AE7DW.

Thanks to my club members W7RIL(Riley) and N7IY(Peter) and the use of the club station W7PXL, I was able to reach out farther than the 2m/440 repeaters I have been albe to experience so far.
