Have you tried 220? It has the benefits of 2 meters with an antenna that approaches the small size of 70cm. And it's a band that's all ours. We don't share it with anybody (no Pave Paws radar issues here). Jerry Aceto, K6LIE, shares a helpful blog post with info on how to get on the fun band economically.

Updated: The May ARRL NM Section Report can be found here.

Rick Roderick, K5UR, is currently Vice President of the American Radio Relay League. He has held ARRL appointments continuously for over 40 years. He is known world-wide for his operating achievements in amateur radio on the HF and VHF/UHF bands, having held numerous records in the fields of DXing and contesting. He lives on a 50 acre antenna farm outside Little Rock, Arkansas where he practices law. Rick is a frequent speaker at clubs and events, and loves telling stories about what he calls “the greatest hobby in the world – amateur radio!”

Here's his speech from the 2009 Colorado Hamcon Banquet. 19MB Mp3


ARRL New Mexico Section News and Rocky Mountain Division updates for the month are posted in the ARRL NM Section Group.

Need DX Spots? We've got em here! Check our DX Cluster app on the left column of the site and read how DX information gets from spotters to you.

Need help with a technical issue? Visit the all-new NM Hams ARRL Technical Specialist Group. We can get you answers, like we did for Michael W2FCP.

Start your weekday with the New Mexico Breakfast Club, 6:30 am on 3,939 KHz. And don't forget the SCAT, Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 8:00 am. 145.33 linked to 444.00.

We're in beta. At this point, with the exception of NM-ARTS, The Caravan Club and the Albuquerque Amateur Radio Club all groups on this site are un-official. Please visit the associated group websites for official information and communications.

Are you a club officer or designated PR person? If you're group is already set up, we'll make you the administrator so you can post and make your group "official".

IRLP link relocated

Since my IRLP link has been nothing but trouble when operating it from my home here in Bernalillo because of heavy mult-path distortion, I have recently moved the IRLP computer and link radio to Alex's (KH7CF) home in Rio Rancho. The link now is working much better with a good signal into the repeater. I am still tinkering with the antenna. Even so, the IRLP system is much more positive now. A big THANKS to Alex for allowing me to install the system at his home.

Anyone is welcome to use the IRL… Continue

220 Alive and growing in Albuqueque!

Hi Everyone,
I have been a big advocate of the 220 band for the last 20+ years. I started my repeater in the Seattle, Washington area back in 1985 or so. Since moving to this area about 3 years ago, I have since moved my system to Rio Rancho.

The repeater is on 224.480 Mhz with no PL. It is open to the entire ham community. No membership or dues are necessary or accepted. I built it over 20 years ago and regard it as a payback to the amateur community for all the enjoyment our great hobby has g… Continue

CW in real life

When I wrote this post about the Japanese creating a Morse device as a way to quickly input Twitter content, it got me to thinking...

Why not use a code key in place of your computer keyboard?

Turns out that at least one other person had this idea.… Continue
