Don’t forget about the Rookie Roundup coming up the 19th of December.
The Rookie Roundup is a contest aimed at Amateurs licensed for three years or less. This six-hour event is held three times per year (April, August and December). Rookies can contact anybody, while “Old Timers” make contact with only Rookies. Mentoring is a big part of this event!
Remember, this month is the CW only mode, so don’t get on and start calling CQ ROOKIE ROUNDUP on phone! This would be a good time to practice your CW, and I will definitely be monitoring some of the activity. Check the ARRL’s Website on the Rookie Roundup (linked above before the quote from their site) for more information.

Also one of my favorite contests is coming up mid-December (the 11-12), the ARRL 10 Meter Contest.
ARRL 10 Meter Contest Website:
For Amateurs worldwide to exchange QSO information with as many stations as possible on the 10-meter band.
I love it! I haven’t checked any solar predictions, nor have I been monitoring the DX / Solar Updates in my e-mail inbox from the ARRL, but hopefully there will be good conditions!
Good luck,
Sean, K8JSM/4
