Comments:

N1MM score calculation (above) assigns 4 points per CW and 2 points per SSB. 
Rules assign half of that, so score is 32340.  Take your pick.

Very little activity on 15m (when I checked) and nada on 10.

20m was noisy with many NA signals just (or barely) above the noise floor.  The
stronger signals came from EU, so long skip was in.

Worked a couple of NM mults on 20 and 15 groundwave/backscatter.  The balance
of NM counties (nine of them) were worked within 30 minutes in late afternoon
on SSB.

80m was silent except for GA QP ops, many of whom got "NM" but proceeded
without sending their names.  Those are NIL.  Suggest:  for weekends having
more than one QP, make a crib sheet of of all of the QP exchanges and multiply
your fun (and ours!).  Many thanks to the GA ops who weren't baffled by my NMQP
exchange plus "599 NM" added and who responded with their names.  Happy to have
you in the log!!

At this time of year, and terminating the NMQP at 0200Z, 160 meters is
superfluous.

Despite band conditions, there were many QRP and mobile ops who simply never
gave up calling and who had surprisingly good signals (CW & PH) once they were
in the clear.  Thanks for all of the Qs from folks who were very interested in
working New Mexico and swapping QSL and County cards!

CU next year de dan, k7ia
