WQ6X Wings yet another Triple-OP CW Sweepstakes

Typically, before a major radiosport contest, I visit the hosting website for the upcoming
event, reviewing scores from recent years and investigating the possibility of setting a
new score record - which becomes more difficult each year.

For Cw Sweepstakes 2025, I created 3 operating goals:

1. Reprise WQ6X's Southwest Division win, while taking a shot at besting the all-time
   high score for the Southwest Division set by WQ6X in the 2024 Sweepstakes event.
2. Operate the FT-2000 from W7AYT's QTH, taking 1st-place for the East Bay (EB) ARRL section.
3. Put in some op-time with team-NX6T, securing a repeat of last year's surprising overall
   Multi-Single LP win.

Leading (leaning?) into the contest weekend was a series of geomagnetic storms contributing
to higher noise levels, as well as some devastatingly slow-fading; add to that randomly increasing internet dropouts, made Sunday a long, overall frustrating operating period on Sunday.

If I suddenly disappeared on you, only to come back a minute later, that was due

to randomly repeating internet drop-outs at the Concord location I was running from.  

During several pileups the station would come back to me only to have my internet drop 

at that very moment and I would miss the QSO - Bummer Dewd.

As a warmup exercise, K6QLF was activated mainly on 10-meters, sweeping the 3-el. 10-meter Long John yagi while calling CQ.  To best last year's SOULP score for East Bay required making 50+ QSOs in 33+ ARRL sections, which was accomplished later in the day on Saturday.

After a short break, it was time to dial the radio in Ramona down to 5-watts for an SOUQRP run, putting WQ6X on the air once again from San Diego (SDG) section.  By the time I got started, 10-meters was largely over for the day.  15 and then 20-meters became the afternoon sanctuary looking for an early solid opening on 40-meters - which occurred from 02:00z to 04:00z. 

 
For the rest of the evening, it was a switch off between 40 and 80-meters.

My biggest beef was stations who moved in on my QRP signal 100-Hz away and called CQ. 
Just because I sport a weaker signal does not mean the frequency is open. If they had sent "QRL?" FIRST, they woulda hear me instantly reply "QRL QSY", but that rarely happened.

team-NX6T had enough capable operators that WQ6X wasn't needed until my usual 3am
(11:00z) shift (6am on the East coast) for 2-hours.  While my QSO count was hardly impressive,
a call from VE9KK (NB section) on 7031.69 @12:42z made my shift worth the early morning operation.  Looking at the after contest submitted scores, it would seem that for now, NX6T
squeaked out a 1st-place.

When it was all over, it would seem that WQ6X managed another 1st-place for SDG & S-West Division and a 4th-place overall - NoT BaD for dividing my time between three different operations.
