June contest

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 would consider putting my relatively small 1296 antenna on a 20' push up mast, but if Duffy (or anyone) is considering a path this way (either right here or through Moab/Green River area) it would be much more motivation to fire up 1296 (..and 900).

I'm not planning on a big effort in June since I'm not really thrilled with the prospect of a mostly FT8 6M contest.  The upside of this is I'll have much more time to concentrate on 2M and above.  Something that normally takes a back seat to 6 in June.

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) to get on 1296 myself, so I'm interested in this for a future trip.

John, DM81 or DM82 on 6 would be great for me !

Jay - I'm thinking of DM72/73/82/83 on Sunday.  Based on experience, if I start the day in DM82 we should have no problem.  DM81 is not in the plan this time around - I'm not done with New Mexico.

That would be great John.  DM82 is the one I really need to work on 6 !
Good Luck - I'll be following you.

John,

I have an antenna for 1296. It's your for the asking.
