Some years ago, I published a Blast from the Past Blog entry about the ARRL 10-meter contest ([CLICK HERE] to view that). In preparation for this weekend's ARRL 10 contest, reviewing that blog and the 2022, 2023 & 2024 blog entries it was time to document those events in a Blast from the Past. This is how those events turned out:
- [X] - 2022 - WQ6X reprises K6T for a 10-Meter triple-OP Operation
This was a FUN operation reprising the K6T callsign from 10-years prior, while also putting WQ6X on the air running QRP, in addition to putting in some hours for the NX6T effort running from Ramona. Overall, it was a productive weekend as long as I remembered what callsign I was using where/when. - [X] - 2023 - WQ6X Wields a Wild & Wooly QRP 10-Meter Contest
This was another DUAL OP running NX6T from Anza and QRP as WQ6X from the Ramona location. When it was all over, NX6T took 2nd-place to the Arizona Outlaws (AOCC) for Southwest Division, WQ6X QRP took 1st-place for the division. While I made more QSOs than the overall winner (KA4RRU), is multiplier count was HUGE giving him
a 50k point edge. - [X] - 2024 - WQ6X Conducts a QuainT QRP 10-MeTeR ConTesT
This event was a unique Quad-event operation leveraging remote operations from Ramona and Anza as well as running QRP Ssb as W7AYT in the East Bay (EB) section. By putting 4 different callsigns on the air operators were given more stations to work. Because this is a single band contest, more callsigns takes the place of working stations on multiple bands.
With these events properly documented, the door is open for what to do for this year's ARRL
10-meter GiG. Stay tuned to find out the results.
