WQ6X Dual-OP's another NAQP Cw Contest

 








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).








Considering the horrible space-WX we've been up against, it is amazing
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?
