Hi John, you don't specify but I would guess that your talking about 
Cloudcroft ? Any way I remember that there were some hams there about 10 
years ago. Sorry I don't remember any calls but some of them were in the 
Roswell area. You might check with the Communications Battalion of the 
Organized NM State Militia. A bunch of them were the ones I remember. A 
bit vague but I hope this sorta answer helps.
