BLASTS from the Past: The WPX Weird Prefix Ssb Contest

While researching the material(s) needed to write the Cw BLAST for the WPX contest, it occurred

to me that the March WPX Ssb contest has been completely ignored in the "Blast from the Past" category.  Because I believe in offering equal time to Ssb contests, this BLOG entry should
remedy that rather rightly.

Combing the archives, it would seem that WQ6X has been a part of as many Ssb WPX contests

as I have Cw GiGs.  Because there are several YL OP's in the San Diego contest club, it is not unusual to see a woman sitting in front of a radio; YL voices is one of NX6T's "secret weapon".

In a way, it is quite amazing that we (San Diego Contest Clubber's) have done as well as we have
in recent WPX years considering the low Solar Flux index (SFI).  Altho domestic contacts are worth points, DX contacts are worth even more.  Most of the most-exotic Weird Prefixes are from the
other side of the globe.

What I like MOST about the WPX Weird Prefix Contest is all the different prefixes, often created JUST for the contest event.  As reported in previous WPX Blog write-ups, some of my favorite callsigns include:
