Leave it to CQ, there are 2 club lists. The one by state does not show NM VHF Society, but the 2nd list does. Go figure. The rules mention geographical areas as states, provinces. Work First, Worry Later.

Just checked and NMVHF Society is not listed in the CQ Club listing. Unknown what the CQ boundary is but think they would parallel ARRL definitions. For NMVHF in ARRL contests, stations must operate from within the borders of New Mexico.

Jim, I'm not operating the contest full time due to some severe noise problems on 6M here in DM58, but, I will make an effort to hear & work you on 2M from as many of your stops as possible. I'm not sure 6M is possible, but I will certainly try there. If there are decent sporadic-E conditions on 6, lets hope some of the FT8 crowd can pull themselves away from 50.313 and help those who are trying to run rate on SSB or CW. -73 & GL- -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P.

Good luck in the CQ WW VHF Contest everyone. NM VHF Society kicked buttt last year from this region and made a great nationwide noise. Will be around to see what happens on 6 & 2 meters. Help the rovers as I can. Speaking of Rovers... here in recognition of National Moon Day (per Bing, anyway) is a classic well equipped Rover from late July, early August 1971. 73, Bob N N5EPA

KK6MC/r in CQ WW VHF Contest
James Duffey
Here is my itinerary for the June CQ WW VHF contest. W7QQ noted that the eastern Grids are often neglected in our roves, so I am focusing on the NE corner of the state on Saturday and then heading W towards home on Sunday.
The CO guys should be possible to work on Saturday as I have worked CO from all of those grids. Albuquerque should be possible from all of these grids and if we get some short Es AZ should also be possible. Western NM may be tough though. I will have APRS and you can follow me on APRS.fi . If you are a member of NM VHF Society, please submit a log and use NM VHF Society as the name. It is not clear to me if there are boundary limits to club contributions, but if they are it is 250 MIles. That should cover everyone in NM, West TX, including El Paso, and Southern CO to include W9RM in Olathe. Listen for the weak ones. - Duffey KK6MC I hope you can On Grid Location Off 1800Z DM86as Capulin Volcano 1915Z 2200Z DM85ct (About 10 east of Mosquera) 2315Z 0045Z DM84hx (about 15 miles south of San Jon) 0200Z Overnight in Tucumcari. 1400Z DM85cd (Tucumcari Municipal Park) 1515Z 1615Z DM74xv (South east of Santa Rosa) 1730Z 1945Z DM75ba (15 miles east of Moriarty) 2000Z 2030Z DM64xx (Moriarty Airport) 2100Z End of contest On Grid Off 1800Z DM84hx (about 15 mi South of San Jon) 1915Z 2045Z DM85ct ( about 10 mi east of Mosquera) 2215Z 0105Z DM86as James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

FYI to all, concerning the CQWW VHF tomorrow. Today (Friday) at noon, there was widespread tropo on 2M east of the continental divide and SE into W4/W5 land. Unless there is a drastic shift in WX patterns out there, it will most likely appear tomorrow as well. Keep an ear open for it. -W9RM Keith J Morehouse via Moto G

Re: Central States VHF Society Conference

I had reserved a room back in the spring and then things changed and I let it go. Now, the wife is heading back east over that weekend and I could again go. But, the cheap rooms are gone, it's a 12 hour drive, it's way to $$ to fly from Podunk field CO to Podunk field KS - hmmm, what other excuses are there ? Maybe next year again - I've made the last 3-4 in a row. -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO
