[CQ-Contest] New Mexico QSO Party -- February 7, 2010

[Brian Mileshosky]

Fellow Hams --

Happy Holidays!  I'm emailing this list to announce the 2010 New Mexico 
QSO Party.  You are invited to participate in 2010's event, which will be 
sponsored by the Valencia County Amateur Radio Association, and take 
place Sunday, February 7 from 8:00am MST until 8:00pm MST.

Last year marked the return of the New Mexico QSO Party after a brief 
hiatus.  Improved promotion, rules, and awards for the winners of various 
operating categories resulted in 127 participants...plus probably many 
more who didn't submit their logs.  Specifically, 44 participated within 
New Mexico (including 7 mobile stations who activated a combined 24 of New 
Mexico's 33 counties), and 73 participated from elsewhere in the United 
States.  Ten DX stations -- from Canada, Lithuania, Azores, Czech 
Republic, Germany, and Romania -- also participated and submitted logs.

This coming February you are invited to make the 2010 New Mexico QSO Party 
even better by joining us on the airwaves for a weekend day of great, Ham 
Radio fun.  Operate from the comfort of your home shack, or combine forces 
as a club station multi-op effort.  Or use this event as an opportunity to 
introduce a new person to contesting or ham radio in general.

Complete details, rules, results, and more can be found on the New Mexico 
QSO Party website at http://pages.swcp.com/~n5zgt/nmqsoparty.

Please help us promote the New Mexico QSO Party by spreading the word to 
all the hams you know, and especially by joining us on the airwaves for 
another enjoyable event in February.

73 and Merry Christmas,
Brian N5ZGT
