WQ6X reprises Russian-BARTG Rigorously Reversed

W Q 6 X  in  A L A M E D A

In recent years (March 2018, 2017, 2016 & 2013) WQ6X has dabbled in  various combinations ("flavors"?) of the BARTG RTTY & Russian Dx contests with varying levels of success.

For 2019 I had not given the Russian GiG much thought until N6KI informed me NX6T would be running this GiG as a Multi-2 operation; with newer operators being added to the San Diego contest club roster, events like this one give newer operators a chance to improve their skills and the more seasoned operators to discover new operating variations and techniques that in the future will help take NX6T's Radiosport scores to the next level.

This year I was hoping to begin with the BARTG RTTY contest before the start of the Russian Dx contest.  Unfortunately internet disruption on the Alameda end of the remote connection prevented that possibility from becoming a reality.

For the Russian Dx contest, a lack of available Cw OPs relegated N6KI, N6NC and WQ6X
(all running remotely) to make it all work.  Thanks to N6NC a number of SSB QSOs made it
to the log; otherwise it was largely a Cw contest @NX6T.

After the Dx contest was done there was still an opportunity to make BARTG RTTY contacts and
look for stations in the VAQP.  While operations in these GiGs were minimal, at LEAST I can say
I participated.  How about you?

Did YOU work the Russian DX Contest?
Is NX6T in YOUR Log?
