Happy New Year everyone! In today’s mail the January 2010 issue of CQ Magazine arrived and I was scanning through it I noticed the results of the 2009 CQ WW WPX SSB contest from last March were published. As I was flipping through the pages I was surprised to see in the US results that I was listed in 1st for the US Low Power Rookie category! A rookie is anyone who is licensed less then 3 years and I was first licensed in August 2007, so I have a few months left in my Rookie status.
I’m looking forward to another fun year of contesting in 2010 and it would be great to make a few more top 10 lists over the next year. In about 30 mins the 2010 ARRL RTTY Round-Up is about to start and I’m getting everything setup for that now.
See you on the air!

A job well done indeed! Motivation times performance divided by station engineering equals success. Best results going into the New Year.

Congrats on the 1st in the category. I hope to be there before I’m out of the Rookie category. What was the top 5 in the US rookie LP category?
