It was pretty poor down south too.  The weather sounds like it was better than for Jonesy, as it was sunny to start, but the storms started building by 2pm.  I went up on the hills above Socorro (DM63), and only talked to Jim down in Socorro (DM64).  I heard a fleeting signal from Albuquerque, but 2 hours of calling netted nothing; so the thunderstorm and lack of signals chased me home early.  Maybe next June will be better.  Thinking of driving to Phoenix for January VHF.
