[SCCC] Rookie Roundup today...

[Glenn Rattmann]

SCCCers,
At 1100AM local today, the Rookie Roundup begins and goes until 5PM local.
You non-Rookies can only work Rookies.  YOU OTs 
would call 'CQ Rookies' if CQing, while they are 
supposed to call 'CQ Rookie Roundup.'

Be gentle and mentor these folks, we need them to 
hear activity, and stick with it!  I believe 
there are a couple of Rookies on our SCCC mail-list, so watch for them, too.

The fact that my newly licensed daughter Ashley 
(K6NAA) will be active, operating from N6TV's 
station up in San Jose, is purely coincidental to 
this announcement. ;-)  With 100 Watts, and 
California geography, it might be that 40m in 
late afternoon is the only band where SoCal can 
work the Bay area-- who knows?  Check Rules for 
the frequencies to watch.... work all the Newbies.

Good luck to all and have fun!
