WQ6X Reprises W6J and assists NX6T to 1st-Place

Prior to the 2023 JIDX contest, I searched the WQ6X contest blog to review WQ6X's past participation in the April JIDX Cw contest.  This of course led me to review my use of the W6J
callsign back in 2012/2013.  From there I wrote up the Retrospective on W6J that precedes this Blog. ([CLICKI HERE] to read that.)  In 2019 I wrote a "BLAST from the Past" LooK at JIDX.  The rest is
(as they say) HISTORY.  Since then I have run every JIDX Cw GiG since, which brings us to the 2023 GiG.

  • [X] - 2022 - WQ6X Works a 7.5 Contest Weekend
  • [X] - 2021 - WQ6X Wangles another Weird Multi-contest Weekend
  • [X] - 2020 - WQ6X fakes another (JIDX x 2) + 5 Contest weekend
  • [X] - 2019 - BLASTS from the Past: JIDX Cw

  • The 2023 JIDX contests bring us the new Multi-2 category.  Instead of NX6T running as Multi-2,
    we waited for our competition to "take the bait" and switch to that category, leaving the Multi-Single category to NX6T to win, as we have done in numerous recent JIDX contests.  It would seem that it was a sound strategy - a WiN WiN for everyone involved.

    We had quite an array of Operators and GUEST operators.  VE4EA (Cary) gave KL7SB (Steve)
    a tour of the WA6TQT Super Site.  Later (as you can see in the header-PIC) KL7SB also found himself in the OP seat doing an INCREDIBLE run on 20-meters.

    When it was all said and done, NX6T made a resounding 1st place - our highest score EVER.
    Because most contacts were on 10-meters, WQ6X as W6J submitted a 1st-place SOSB-10 score.

    DiD YOU work the JIDX contest?

    How many different prefectures made it into YOUR LoG?
