Here is my itinerary for the NM QSO Party. I will have a driver, so if propagation is good, you should be able to find me pretty much anytime around the suggested frequencies. I will also have APRS so you can track my progress, but no guarantee as to coverage as some of the route is through remote and lightly populated areas. Please do not text or call during the contest about arranging QSOes or frequencies as that is forbidden in the rules. There is a suggestion in the rules about NM stations going to the suggested operating frequencies at the top of the hour to work other NM stations, and I will try to do that.

I will operate mainly 40CW and 20M CW and phone. The antenna is a bit narrow banded to operate 40 phone with good results, but I can try low in the band, if you want to try a qso. I had marginal luck with that in the OK QSO party.

It easy for me to get behind or ahead of schedule, so don’t hold me to this exact schedule, but I will try as best as I can.
