• A Ham Radio operator that has received his or her first license in 2015, 2016 or 2017
• A Ham Radio operator that has never operated before in the mode of the current ARRL Rookie Roundup.

Are you a rookie?  Join us for the ARRL Rookie Roundup SSB on Sunday, April 16 from 18:00z to 23:59z  (that is 2 pm – 8 pm local time).  The Rookie Roundup is a contest sponsored by the ARRL specifically for new hams.

We will be hosting a multi-op entry using the club callsign, N1FD from the AB1OC/AB1QB QTH.  Help us defend our title from last year as #1 Multi-Op Area 1.  This is an opportunity to get on the HF bands if you just got your license and don’t have a station setup yet, or a chance to get some practice if you want to try running some pile-ups before Field Day.

If you have never operated from our station before, we will hold an elmering session on Saturday, April 15 from 2 pm – 4 pm, also at our QTH.

Details are on our club calendar.
