Re: Contest eligibility list
James Duffey
OK Bill, will add Art. Mike, W0PD and the El Paso guys are not in NM section, so they can’t contribute. Bummer.

Participants in this weekend's VHF contest and/or grid chasers should be aware that there is a full-feature chat page at nmvhf.org:
http://www.nmvhf.org/chat/ It's free for all to use, no registration required. The chat page can be used for self-spotting, tracking rover activity, and QSO scheduling, which is allowed in ARRL VHF contests. 73 Mike WB2FKO & W5UHF multi-op

Re: Contest eligibility list
Bill
Duffy, Need to add Art Aragon KC5EFM and Mike W0PD (if he fits in your club diameter) He's east of El Paso. We met him at Floyd's place when we visited and he applied for membership. You might ask Arne if Mike W0PD have been "processed or vetted" or whatever he calls it. I provided background info on Mike several weeks ago. He's not on the website member list. It's been at least 30 days...... rant rant In Art's case, he intends to participate and will be on 10 GHz from the 10k Trailhead if he can get there. BTW K5WO may be on 10 GHz as well. We checked his rig here yesterday. Worked OK after several years of storage. Hope this snowstorm doesn't complicate your rove. There's 3" new here. Let me know when it's time to approve the list on the ARRL site. 73 Bill W7QQ aka W5UHF Thx, Bill W7QQ

Contest eligibility list
James Duffey
We are required to submit a list of eligible entrants for ARRL contests. All eligible members must reside in the NM ARRL section, so your 6 digit grid square is used for that verification. I submitted the following January 2019 VHF Contest eligibility list for the NMVHF Society. When you submit a log, and please do, no matter what your level of participation, please put New Mexico VHF Society on the club line. If there are errors or omissions in the list, let me know. - Duffey

Tom, N7GP/r will be roving in the contest this weekend. His itinerary is below. NM stations with good paths to his rove locations should be able to work him, albeit it with weak signals and perhaps the requirement for outing CW. - Duffey

GM Mike. How about a 2M schedule right at the start -1900Z CW on 144.200 unless you're up on the WSJT modes then we can try something easier. -W9RM DM58xn Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO

Yup, a few thousand feet of granite betwixt does not help. Yet, I think that timing could make it work (as you referenced). Aiming SSW and NNE simultaneously with a bit of pre-planning, perhaps.

KK6MC/r in January VHF Contest
James Duffey
Here is my preliminary itinerary for the January VHF contest. As has become my tradition, I am going south and west for the January contest. I have had enough of scraping 6 inches of snow off the rover in the morning or mucking about in slush to get ready. As a result of this QSOes may be difficult with many of you from northern and central NM from some of the stops.
I also have rearranged things a bit and am starting in El Paso and working my way over to AZ so that I can be on in AZ Sunday morning for the SOTA activity. I will have all bands 50MHz to 1296MHz. I will have APRS through cell coverage, look for KK6MC-6 on APRS.fi. You can text (preferred) or call (505) 228-5491 to contact me. Good luck to all!

John, speaking selfishly, I'd love to see you put on any of the these: DM63,73,83 or DM72. I need these grids on 6M and it sounds like you might be putting up a real antenna.
