ARRL Rookie Roundup Ops

A team of newly licensed members of our club, the Nashua Area Radio Club,
came together to enter theÂ*2016 ARRL Rookie Round SSB Contest, using our
club callsign, N1FD.Â*We held aÂ*training session at our QTHÂ*the weekend
before the contest to allow our operators to learn about contesting and to
become familiar with our station. We put together a training package to
introduce theÂ*operator team to contesting in general and to theÂ*ARRL Rookie
Roundup.Â*You can view the training package here..
Station Setup for the Contest

We entered theÂ*ARRL Rookie RoundupÂ*in theÂ*Multi-Op, Single Transmitter
categoryÂ*using the clubsÂ*N1FDÂ*call sign. This gave everyone a chance to
operate in the contest and to contribute to the teams final score.
Fred,Â*AB1OCÂ*spentÂ*some time setting up and checking out our station ahead
of time. Our operatorsÂ*used theÂ*N1MM+ loggerÂ*and operated usingÂ*100w of
power on the 20m and 40m bands.

We had a total of 13 Nashua Area Radio ClubÂ*members who attended the
preparation session and/or operated in the contest. Folks worked as teams
during the contest with one person operating while another person logged.
Our operatorsÂ*had nice pileupsÂ*to work for a good portion of the contest.
All of our Operators did really well. As you can see and hear from the
linkedÂ*video, we definitely have some future contest stars in our club!



The table above shows the results of our operations during the 6 hour
contest period. Our teamÂ*did really well! Of particular note is that they
were able to work 45Â*of the 70Â*available multipliers. It will take some
time for the ARRL to put together the results for everyone in the contest
but we believe that our team did very well.

The results are in andÂ*N1FDÂ*took first place in the recent ARRL Rookie
Roundup SSB in the Multi-op Category. TheÂ*N1FDÂ*team was also #1 in area one
and #5 overall in the contest. Congratulations to all of our operators the
did a great job operating in the contest. You can find all of theÂ*scores
for the contest here.



We are planning to hostÂ*recently licensedÂ*club members again for theÂ*ARRL
Rookie Roundup RTTY and the ARRL Rookie Roundup CWÂ*contests later this
year. We hope to see many of our operators back again for these contests.

Do you have a contest station? Â*If so, wed like to encourage to host and
Elmer some new hamsÂ*and challenge us in the ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTYÂ*on
August 21.
