[RTTY] 'Rookie' Category?

[montemerlo]

I was just wondering if the comments on previous notes were due to 
frustration of a 30 year Ham 'almost' getting smoked my one with year on HF.

The CQ Rookie class and the DLDX (which has a wire class) are the only 
contests which give us new guys a chance at reasonable competition and 
encourage us to upgrade our stations to be more competitive in future years.

A seasoned Ham may forget that when you start off you have minimal equipment 
and need to experience a least a chance at placing in order to invest at 
getting better.

My compliments to CQ Magazine for realizing that in at least one contest a 
year, a new Ham can compete on an equal footing with other new Hams.
