I'm glad to be apart of the New Mexico Route 66 on the Air for 2013. 

I live on the north edge of Rio Rancho and have the above antennas along with 550 watts output if needed. 

Plan to be on SSB on which ever bands provide the most QSOs to folks that want to work us. I would think that will be 15, 20, and 40 meters. Hope to hear you on the bands.

I live just northwest of Albuquerque in the village of Los Ranchos, very near the Rio Grande. According to the sign along the road, the old Historic Route 66 cuts right through the village, a couple hundred yards from my house!

I'll probably do a little of everything during the "Route 66 On the Air" event, but I hope to focus on the WARC bands from home (with high power and decent antennas) and will try to do some QRP CW mobiling along the actual Route 66 (because "mobile" and "Route 66" just seem to go together).

Gotta start somewhere!

To the 2013 W6H team: Do you think this medium will work out okay? It would be nice to have a website, but I don't think any of us has the skills or time to create and update it. The address for this "blog" will be posted on the main Route66 site (that address is  http://www.w6jbt.org/2013site/route-66-on-the-air/ ), and people from all over the world can view it for updates. I'm thinking that each of us can have the password for this blog, and we can update it as many times as necessary before, during, and after the event. We can post daily updates on QSOs and bands, and even give hints about where we'll be the next night. Before it even starts, we can add photos and bios for all of us, too!
