John, DM81 or DM82 on 6 would be great for me ! -W9RM Keith Morehouse via MotoG

I'm tentatively planning on going in the opposite direction (southeast NM) this time around. DM55/56 are not great places to visit at the moment. That said, I need a little push (lacking an antenna)

Attention NM rovers ! Has anybody made any plans to rove up toward DM58 in June ? K7ULS is going to be in a new high elevation location in DN41 and is bugging me to have 1296 available. I told him I

More than 4x. When I got mine, it cost $10. I was going to enter the Petrified Forest National Park during a 7th Call Area and the ranger said that instead of paying the park entry fee of $15, I could

If one is over 62, a one-time fee of $80 (think that's what it is now) will get you a lifetime free pass for you and everyone in your vehicle to any National Park, Forest or Monument where entry fees

Jonesy, Sure, we'll have you! Good luck in June. 73 Bill W7QQ

OBTW, I forgot to point out some Good Press that New Mexico received recently: nytimes.com/2020/05/01/opinion/new-mexico-coronavirus-curve.html 73 Jonesy

I worked about a dozen on FT8, all pretty strong, then a couple on phone, then called 20 unanswered CQs on CW (while the FT8 frequency was still hopping). Sigh. Bruce AA5B

Looking at the angles, the opening from central NM would probably be into far northern MN and western VE3 (Like, take off 'eh, hoser ). Little to work up that way. One other thing I noticed about the

Congrats Keith, good job. Sounds like 6 meters SSB at 50.125 opening now. I have had some direction indicator issues with my VHF/UHF antenna's rotator. Went from that to absolutely no rotation

Nice job Keith. I picked up some new grids in the Dakotas and in Wisconsin. I worked only phone and cw (2). I monitored FT8 and there was lots of traffic. I decided to not be part of that problem. I

After watching DXMaps the last couple of days and through the day yesterday, it appeared we just might have a chance at some early season sporadic E. I was on the fence about the Sprint and didn't

Sorry to hear that Stan is a SK. I first met Stan years ago in 1977. HE worked for Motorola at the time. We were just forming the West Texas Repeater association at that time. Be careful

Thanks Arne for writing this. I had started but just could not get the words to come out. I had not known Stan as long as others here (20 years) but he was a true friend. He was a 6 meter lover.
