Greetings —

The 2024 New Mexico QSO Party takes place *Saturday, April 13 from 8:00am
MDT until 8:00pm MDT*, and all Hams across New Mexico are invited
to participate.  Amateur radio operators from across the United States --
and the world -- will be seeking New Mexico stations on HF, 6 meters, and 2
meters during the event period, looking especially to work hams in as many
New Mexico counties as possible.  The Land of Enchantment will essentially
be the "DX" on this day, making for a great time for all who participate.
Last year hundreds of amateur radio operators around the world
participated, including 103 New Mexico hams and 11 New Mexico amateur radio
clubs who put 31 of New Mexico’s 33 counties on the air.

This year's event is hosted by the *Bosque Amateur Radio Club*.

We are looking for multiple hams — like yourself! — within each and every
one of New Mexico's 33 counties to participate in the 2024 New Mexico QSO
Party, whether for just a few convenient hours or for the entire event.

This is a super event for new and experienced hams alike. Operate from the
comfort of your home.  Combine forces with hams in your club as a club
activity or invite a group of friends to your shack for a multi-op
operation.  Hit the road as a mobile station and activate multiple counties
which create much needed -- and appreciated -- point multipliers for
everyone who participates in the QSO Party.  Use this event as an
opportunity to introduce a neighbor or friend to ham radio.  Or rally
friends and club members to set up "Field Day style" as part of the special
expedition category.

*ATTENTION HAM CLUBS: *The New Mexico QSO Party is a superb club-building
activity, and there are two special awards devoted exclusively for clubs.
The first is a plaque that will be awarded to the New Mexico club with the
highest aggregate score submitted by its members. Another plaque will be
awarded to the New Mexico Club whose members activate the highest aggregate
number of New Mexico counties around the state. It doesn't matter what
operating category your members participate in, or for how long; New Mexico
club members simply need to clearly mark their club name in their
individual logs.  Their club will be automatically entered in the running
for these awards. Complete details in the New Mexico QSO Party rules.

Great-looking plaques will be awarded and participation certificates will
be available for those desiring one.  Complete details, rules,
prize/certificate information, and more can be found on the New Mexico QSO
Party website at www.NewMexicoQSOParty.org
<http://www.newmexicoqsoparty.org/>

*PLEASE SHARE YOUR PLANS (even if tentative)! *Are you planning to get on
the air and operate from your home shack, as a mobile station, or
portable?  Even if tentative at this point, please visit
www.NewMexicoQSOParty.org <http://www.newmexicoqsoparty.org/> and let us
know what county (or counties) you plan to operate from so we can list you
on the NM QSO Party website’s activation table and interactive map.  Our
goal is to have as many hams as possible operating from *all* 33 New Mexico
counties during the event.

Please help spread the word about the 2024 New Mexico QSO Party and mark
your calendar to join the excitement on the air.

Thanks and 73,
Brian N5ZGT
