Per my experience, you have it right. Worked FM29 a couple of time,
zip for FM28.

I would agree...usually get into FM29
multiple times each summer and FM28 less often. It's south of
there that is much harder: FM13, FM14, FM15, and FM25. It could
be my proximity to the Sandia mts, or lack of activity there, but
those grids are rare DX for me. N7KA and N5JEH are probably the
best local authorities on this question. And I assume we are
talking about 6m? WB2FKO

Really, neither are THAT rare if you live within single hop distance.
FM25 is much more difficult to work (and the only one of the FM's I need for FFMA from DM58

Oh - yeah.
Forgot about FM13 - another tough one due to lack of land mass :)
I need that one too from DM58.

Bruce,
I'll second (third or whatever) FM28. I have FM29 confirmed from Socorro with just my 100wts and 3el.

In your experience, which is more rare, FM28 or FM29?

I went back into the log since 2012, which is when I started operating from DM58. Here's what I've worked on 6M, all double-hop of course.
FM29 - 21 QSO's
FM28 - 8 QSO's
FM27 - 5 QSO's, all with one station, N3MK
FM26 - 3 QSO's
FM25 - no QSO's
Next row west:
FM18, FM19 - > 20 QSO's per grid
FM17 - 14 QSO's
FM16 - 13 QSO's
FM15 - 1 QSO
FM14 - 3 QSO's
FM13 - none

# of QSOs FM28=1, FM29=24 That is out of 5696 6M QSOs. Need FM14, FM25 and some decent propagation.
