[CQ-Contest] Rookie Contest querie,

[Jack Brindle]

Joe;

You sound like you are almost in a panic. When calling CQ on CW, the  
op would send:

CQ RR CQ RR DE W0RKY K
or
CQ RR CQ RR DE W0RKY/ROK K

No problems there.

This really looks like it will be a fun contest, and one we can use to  
introduce many newcomers to contesting. Yea, we have a few things to  
work out on our (the participants/helpers) side, but that is the case  
in all contesting. I look forward to helping to introduce lots of new  
hams to contesting with the Rookie Roundup. Now once we have them  
hooked, they will rapidly become addicted, as we are...
