[Rmvhf] Worked all New Mexico Grids award

James Duffey
OK Phil, we wanted an award that was achievable, but not trivial. The October 1, 2017 start date was decided on so that everyone would start from scratch. W7QQ did the leg work for the award.

Not sure why you can’t open the web page. Try just < NMVHF.org > and look under operating for the award details. DM71 is not in NM. Thanks for your interest in the award. - Duffey James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

...which is how it should be. Difficult and everyone starts at the same place. This may already be baked into the award, but I think something like this should have a special award for #1 - maybe a nice plaque, with certificates after. Obviously numbered for the top 5 or <?> ? #1 is certainly going to be won by someone 6M Es single-hop distance away from central NM or possibly someone living in central NM. -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P.

Keith, Maybe #1 will be taken by a pair of mobile stations with HTs. Could be a great way to see the state. There'll be a fight over who gets #1 and who gets #2.

Hmmmm - maybe there should be separate categories for mobile & fixed stations, 'eh ? -RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO

>>Maybe #1 will be taken by a pair of mobile stations with HTs. Could be a great way to see the state. True, but it contributes nothing to what I'd have to imagine as the original intent of the award. It's similar to the often-maligned pair of grid-circling rovers that rack up contest points by working each other hundreds of times and making little or no effort to work others. Impressive scores, an interesting achievement, but a hollow victory. AA5B/7 Sent from my iPhone

Thanks Bruce, Shudda passed this thru a review comittee. Will put a minimum distance limit and station seperation in rules to preclude this. Thanks Bill W7QQ

Keith is correct. Separate Categories is a great idea !

Well first, Tnx to Bill W7QQ for the leg work on the award. Also, Duffey is right...it should be an award that is achievable, but not trivial. I think there should be a certain distance between /m's or rovers so the Moriarity Confluence cannot be used between mobiles, etc.
As Duffey said: "let's not make it trivial" My quarter's worth.:-) 73, Hutch WB5CTS DM65qd

Would it make sense to require that contacts from the grid square be
made with station(s) in separate grids?
