[RVRC] [nm-dstar] 2025 New Mexico QSO Party -- this Saturday!

[N2GJ]

Please spread the word!

This Saturday is the annual New Mexico QSO Party!  It runs from 0800 to
2000 Local (Mountain Daylight Time) April 12, 2025.  For my friends back
East, that's 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM EDT. I'll be operating from my home
station this year, in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County.

I'll probably start out on 80 or 40 meters, then 20, and perhaps 10 & 15
for a bit.  The organization that sponsors the contest always tries to get
every county in our very large (5th largest in the USA) state represented.
If you're a County Hunter, this is a great opportunity!

See you on the radio!

Stay safe & effective. Be well! 73,

GJ
