[OKDXA] dx in the high mountains

[john carson]

The NG3K site is an excellent tool for charting activity on the bands.
I also am quite fond of  the site  dxfor.me. I like the way it is
presented and can be searched band for band or as a list. It seems to
be tied into dxsummit.fi as when you post on dxsummit it appears in a
few moments on dxfor.me. Anyway, I enjoy both sites...just thought I
would share.

I am currently operating from my New Mexico mountain QTH in Eagle Nest
(8400 ft elevation), dxing from here provides a few new challenges as
we are in a high mountain valley yet surrounded by mountain over
13,000 ft.so a low angle of take off is a must...Antenna
experimentation is always ongoing and lots of great contacts (and a
number of new countries) can be made...17m dx seems to be hopping and
12m as well, so I look for good things here and on the bands.

Don't forget to work K2BSA and all the bands you can, these folks need
and deserve the full support of the Amateur Radio Community.

Good luck and good DX
