[CQ-Contest] New Ops?

[Robert Brandon]

Several of our local big guns host a new ham event for one contest each
year.  All new hams/new contesters are invited for a low pressure,
semi-competitive, multi-op effort.  I went to one of these several years
ago, and now I'm hooked!

Hello Friends,
i have some questions to make to everybody have an answer.

What is the way to promote Contests through novice Hams?

Do you have any novice ham in the team during a Contest?

- IF YES.    What is his role in the team?    Do you think that is the way
to will be a good op?

- IF NO.    Why?    What do you think is necessary to do, for a novice
contest Op, to be a good Op in the MS or MM team?


Please answer on the news-group
Thank you in advance for your attention.

None of the "self imposed" suffixes/prefixes make it into
my log.  If it's not imposed by regulations, I don't log it.
