Blasts from the PAST: Worked All Europe (WAE) Cw contest

In preparation for writing-up the latest WAE-Cw contest, I realized that I've never written a Blast post about this unique contest.  LooKing at previous Blast posts ([CLICK HERE] to see the list) certainly confirms that fact.  When a search was made regarding the different entries written about the WAE GiG, I came up with the following entries (from 2016 - 2022):

• [X] (2022) - WQ6X Works another Wonky WAE Contest
  
• [X] (2021) - WQ6X WiNGs and Wangles' another WAE Cw Contest
• [X] (2020) - WQ6X Weirdly but Wisely Works another Wicked WAE Contest
• [X] (2019) - WQ6X runs a Quicky Yet Quirkey WAE Contest
• [X] (2018) - WQ6X Stumbles Thru WAE Cw Contest
• [X] (2017) - WQ6X survives 12 computer crashes to work WAE
• [X] (2016) - WQ6X dabbles in WAE-CW 2016

wOw!  It would seem that all WAE Cw operations were run remotely in some way; initially using
the setup in Fallbrook and then moving onto utilize the WA6TQT superstation in Anza (Southern) California.  For 2023, not only have I run a number of remote operations from KN6NBT's mountain-top Ramona QTH, many of them have been run using the QRP power level.  For this year's WAE-Cw contest, a major operating goal will be running this GiG at the QRP (5-watt) power level; which will take QTC message passing to a new level.

With the EU-Only focus of the WAE GiG, very little rotation of the Stepp-IR yagi was necessary. 
Many contests seem boringly all alike, year after year, after year.  What sets the Worked All Europe GiG apart from all the rest is of course the QTC message passing; when you earn 2-points for every contact messaged-about, you really EARN those 2 points.

Do YOU ever work the Worked All Europe (WAE) Contest?
