County Activation Plans
The following table indicates who is planning to operate from what county in New Mexico. This list doesn't necessarily reflect the actual number of participants; there may be many more who just didn't email us their plans! Even if someone is listed in a county of interest, please inform the NM QSO Party of your intentions to activate it! The more activity within each county, the better.
