The week prior to the NAQP Cw contest was full of fascinating intensity. Needing respite
from it all, a 12-hour Cw contest essentially provided the playing field to make it all happen.
Having an abundance of more-or-less equally-qualified operators reduced the need for my
operating-presence down to 3 out of the 12-hours, leaving the rest for operating as WQ6X
from the SF East bay. Because single-OP operations permit only 10-hours on the air,
running from NX6T resolved what to do with WQ6X's off-time.
The goal for WQ6X was to run frequencies on 10m, 15m, 20m and then back to 10m.
As 10m & 15m eventually failed to produces, the move was eventually made down to
20-meters, parking there running frequencies until 40m made an early opening (early
for W7AYT's QTH at any rate).
WQ6X made over 100 QSOs in the more-or-less 10 operating hours.
For NX6T, running as Multi-2 made all the difference in our probable 1st-place finish.
DiD YOU work the summer NAQP Cw contest?
Is WQ6X or NX6T in YOUR Log?
