WQ6X Wanders thru the EA RTTY contest and 3 State QSO Parties

The 1st weekend in April brings us the EA RTTY contest and several state QSO parties in between the previous weekend's WPX Ssb contest and next weekend's JIDX Cw contest.  Throughout the weekend, listening was plagued by leftover atmospheric noise, even tho the major solar event occurred on Thursday.

It is a good thing that the EA RTTY GiG allows us to work anyone (not just EA stations). 
I never heard a single EA station; the bandmap spots were all from the East coast, which
does California operators no good.

The state QSO parties were even MORE of a disappointment.  Because of the HUGE turnout in California's QSO party every year, I guess I hold a HIGH standard for other state/province QSO
parties throughout the year.  The more successful QSO party GiGs send out e-mail notification
of upcoming events to those adding an e-mail address to the previous year's log submissions.

While radiosport opportunities seemed limited, I took the opportunity to test-run a new bare-minimum audio mixing unit which is installed on the audio output of the filter arrangement in use.  Because the unit requires external DC power, being 5-volts, it came with a USB power plug to obtain that voltage.

When it was all over, at LEAST I had a reasonable score to submit ti the contest committee.
To quote that old song: "It's NICE to KNOW that YOU were THERE".

DiD YOU play around in the above radiosport events?

Is WQ6X in YOUR LoG?
