I have started a series of "National Park Expeditions", which are portable operations from within our National Parks.  I have always liked the outdoors, camping, and my radio operating has provided many opportunities to operate from the great outdoors.  I hope that these types of operation catch on!

WAS Map

 

Post-NovSSCW Analysis: All US states contacted!!! Only US section missing was NNY. Missed several up in Canada. QSLs have been sent out but I need to get some returns before I complete my goal of getting the Worked All States (WAS) Award in 2008. I enclosed SASEs in hopes that will expedite a QSL return. Thanks all!

New Mexico gets No Respect from QST Staff PDF Print Email
Written by Gary   
2008-11-04 02:01:59

The November, 2008 issue of QST, a publication of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), has the following in the "Media Hits" column:

"Even if not in the immediate hurricane zone, local media was interested in what their local hams were doing. KOAT-TV, Channel 7 (Albuquerque, MN) had a segment about us...."

Now I'm pretty sure that Minnesota doesn't have a town named Albuquerque. A quick search for KOAT on the internet confirmed that it is a local TV station in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
