The N1FD Contest Team operated in the final Rookie Roundup of the year – the ARRL Rookie Roundup CW. Jamey, KC1ENX and Abby KC1FFX operated as a Multi-Op team using the N1FD callsign at the QTH of AB1OC and AB1QB.

The CW contest proved to be a great way to improve the CW skills of the rookies as well as the Elmers! It was the perfect follow-on to the Morse Code Class held earlier this year.
N1FD Multi-Op Score in the ARRL RR CW
Abby and Jamey made a total of 21 QSOs in the contest, including one with another rookie from Alberta, Canada. Most of the activity was on the 20m band with a few contacts on 40m.
US States and Canadian Provinces Worked in the Contest
We all had a great time in the contest and are looking forward to working another CW contest soon.
We’re also looking forward to the next Rookie Roundup, the SSB contest which will be on April 17. We invite all of the new hams in the club to join us for the SSB version of the contest.
Our club has had quite a year in 2016. We initiated many new activities and our members learned some new skills. Most importantly, we contributed a great deal to the Amateur Radio Service through license classes and other educational and outreach activities. We have plenty of material to include in our 2016 Highlights video which follows.
