Fellow Hams --
A fantastic ham radio event has been revived that will provide a
weekend of fun and excitement to every ham that participates. The New
Mexico QSO Party, an operating event designed for new and experienced
hams alike, will take place on the first weekend of February (Feb 7-8,
2009).
The purpose of this HF and 6-meter event (both of which every ham has
privileges to operate on) is to get on the airwaves and have a great
time with hams from across New Mexico and the nation. Simply put, NM
hams contact as many hams (inside and outside NM) as possible. Non-NM
hams contact as many NM hams (only) as possible. And what good
operating event can't be without awards?
Complete details, rules, and forms are available at the New Mexico QSO
Party website: http://www.swcp.com/~n5zgt/nmqsoparty Details are also
set appear in the February issue of QST magazine as well as the
February Contest Corral posted on the ARRL website.
Please help us spread the word by posting information about it on your
club's website or in an email sent to your club members. Ask that a
blurb be included in your club newsletter. Mention it on the nets, and
while in QSO with your friends. Needless to say, the level of fun and
success of this event depends on the number of participants,
particularly within New Mexico. A great effort is being made to have
every one of New Mexico's 33 counties on the air.
This year's event is being sponsored by the Los Alamos Amateur Radio
Club. If you have any question about this great event, please don't
hesitate to contact Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT (n5zgt@arrl.net) .
Mark your calendars for February 7-8, and visit
http://www.swcp.com/~n5zgt/nmqsoparty today! We look forward to hearing
you on the airwaves during the 2009 New Mexico QSO Party!
