Blasts from the PAST: End of August Contests

The 4th contest weekend in August brings us a LoT of different radiosport contest configurations to
navigate through.  While tossing some notes together regarding the 2023 rendition of this weekend,
I took a look back and was quite surprised to recall the many different variations of this weekend
WQ6X has managed to cobble together over the last ~10 years.

• [X] - 2022: WQ6X Romps thru another multi-QSO Party Weekend
• [X] - 2021: WQ6X Works another disappointing triple-QSO Party weekend
• [X]- 2020:  WQ6X runs an Ethics-oriented Contest Weekend
• [X] - 2019: WQ6X StePP's Through Another 7 Contest Weekend.
• [X] - 2018: WQ6X Dabbles and Delves into Misc. Radiosport
• [X] - 2017: 3 QSO parties test-drive WQ6X Remote
  
  ----- There seems to be a 3-year GAP in end-of-August activities. -----
• [X] - 2013: WQ6X makes another HQP/OHQP bare-minimum appearance
  
  Related to THIS Blas From the Past is one written up in 2019 for the HQP
• [X] - 2019: Blast From the PAST: Hawaiian QSO Party (HQP)

There really isn't any more to say about all of this.

It does however offer a backdrop to writing up the current 4th-weekend activities.

Do you participate in the end-of-August radiosport activities.

How have things turned out for YOU?
