I used to live in El Paso, have used the linked repeaters many times from that area... it’s fun to have repeaters on mountain tops :-)
I later moved to New Mexico, close to the White Sands missile base...
Was always in attendance at the W5ES ham-club meetings :-)
I lived in Otero county in NM.
I lived out West in Silver City, NM. Lived in NM from 1972-1986.
Was in the wholesale hardware distribution business. Traveled from Alamogordo to Sierra Vista AZ. and as far North as Truth or Consequences.
I absolutely loved the Amateur Radio Community there. Best engineers and techs I have ever known.
Those were good memories.
