The problem today is that all the stations that are active on 6/2/432 are almost all on Digital. Very few are monitoring the SSB/CW frequencies. But normally you can find someone on the Digital

It should be possible on 144 SSB and CW if he has about 9 elements and 100W. We should not get so wrapped up in digi modes and forget there are many folks not on digi. Start with SSB/CW and switch

Closer is tougher, but if we can run at least one of the grids between sunrise and 8-9AM, it should be pretty easy. As it gets later in the day, maybe we would get lucky with a weak signal mode like

I'll have the usual Moxon at 20+ feet, and 100 W. I've made a few random MSK144 contacts with this setup between 750 and 1600 km, without much effort. It appears we'll be at 650-700 km, which I

That would be great, John. Would you be able to take along some sort of gain antenna for 6M ? I've worked guys out of their mobiles at that distance (KF2T in many NV grids) but gain is good :) Mike,

I'm leaning toward a trip to DM73/83 for the June contest. Some patience may be required, but I'd be happy to try on MS. John AA5PR

I noticed that W3IH in DM63 has been active in the past few days on 6m digital. I have decoded him on FT8 here in DM65. Might be worth a try on MSK144? Mike On 4/28/19 9:28 AM,

Hello all - I only need DM63, 73 & 83 for 6M Worked all NM Grids. All of these should be easily worked on meteor scatter if the NM end is running a small beam and 100W. Can anybody help me out with

Today is the last day to submit NM QSO Party logs. **Even if you had only 1 or 2 QSOs, your log is important!** Need help getting it in the right format? Just let me know. You can send me just the

Greetings — This is a friendly reminder, for those of you who participated in the recent 2019 New Mexico QSO Party, that logs are due (received by email if electronic, or postmarked if hard-copy) by

Quite an interesting development! The whitepaper shows that Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying dramatically reduces the modulation bandwidth compared to FSK. This is essential

..and the WSJT musical chairs performance moves on. At least THIS "experimental" mode is going to have a timer in it's alpha release that will force it to stop working right before the June VHF

"FT4 is an experimental digital mode designed specifically for radio contesting. Like FT8, it uses fixed-length transmissions, structured messages with formats optimized for minimal QSOs, and strong

AA5B @ home, Bernalillo County, low power CW: 214 QSOs SSB: 258 QSOs Multipliers: 63 (states + provinces + DX countries + NM counties) Score: 86,436 Propagation wasn't good, there were 2 periods of

Seems like several of you were doing a fair amount of listening, but maybe no one was transmitting? That's not a good way to make QSOs 😀 Back to the contest... Are any of you going to submit a

Hi Bruce, I listened on 7250, 50.125, and 144.2 and did not hear any station. Either my receivers have problems or no one was transmitting. ???

I had a radio on 6 the entire time I was on HF, pointed at ABQ. Heard nobody. I wasn't on much after 12:00 local... -W9RM Keith Morehouse via MotoG

To All,, Report from ARIZONA... I was able to catch Duffy/Jim in two counties early in the contest on 40,, but as day progressed, 40 got to long for me so could not find them .. I was able to work 13

I called a few times on 6 (ssb) but never heard anything so I dipped back down to 20 and 40 and made a few Q's. Georgia QSO party was on in full force. I even heard one other guy in Los Alamos (2
