BLASTs From the Past: Cinco de Contest

The first radiosport contest weekend in May brings us the CINCO de Contest: The ARI DX
Contest + USA State QSO Parties.  I have worked a variety of different approaches to running
this weekend, many of which resulted in 1st-place plaques.  This is what has been done so far.

  • [X] - 2023 - WQ6X Reminisces about Cinco-de-Contest
  • [X] - 2022 - WQ6X Wangles a Weird Cinco-de-Contest

  • [X] - 2020 - WQ6X Wanders Weirdly thru another Cinco-de-Contest
  • [X] - 2019 - WQ6X prepares for another Cinco-de-Contest Weekend

  • [X] - 2017 - WQ6X Survives another 5-contest Weekend
  • [X] - 2016 - WQ6X runs 5 contests simultaneously
  • [X] - 2014 - WQ6X joins Team NX6T for a 4-Contest Weekend
wOw!  That is a LoT of randomly run GiGs.


Many of the successes in the above events can be summed up simply as:

WHEN in DOUBT: CHEAT!  (But w/in the Rules....)
