WQ6X Works the WEIRDEST All Asian Contest - EVER

Where do I begin when it comes to describing this weekend?  This was our 1st experience running
an NX6T setup from a new portable location in Ramona (So. California) known as "Cliffside".   You may recognize what used to be "Tower 2" at our old "Nashville" QTH.  Being trailer-equipped, it can be towed to nearly any location and setup with the 2-Yagi configuration: a 3-element Stepp-IR, and
a 2-element Mosley Shorty-40 for operations on 40-meters, along with an 80-meter Double-Bazooka.

WQ6X ran NX6T remotely from our new remote location in Romona (So. California).  We've
gone from Nashville to Radio Ranch and now a location nicknamed Cliffside.  Having revamped
the portable setup @ W&AYT's QTH, running remote is actually easier and more efficient than ever.

Of course, the BiG complaint for
All Asian weekend was some of the NASTIEST Space-WX I have EVER experienced in a radiosport contest.

Even with the use of Band Condition Spray, our daytime OPs were unable
to snag any Asian stations, not even JA's.  Then, as the sunset approached,
20-meters gave us a very brief handful

of opportunities, requiring a combination 

of carefully crafted CQ calls along with some expert S&P'ing in order to EEK Asian contacts into the log.  If Billy-Bob and his brother Barney would have qualified as Asian contacts, we would've added another 30% to our contact total - Bummer Dewd!

Around midnight, propagation began to open up towards Japan.  Amazingly, while I heard many
JA stations, the majority were ragchewing amongst themselves and NoT participating in the JARL-sponsored All Asian Dx contest - HuH?  Wassup with THAT?

Typical to 48-hour Ssb contests, 40-meters becomes fair game for all manner of signal-oddities.  Outside of 48-hour contest periods, RTTY stations are NEVER heard in the 40-meter phone segment.  However, Dx contests bring in swarms of RTTY (7.135, 7.158), a "whooshing jammer" (7.176), MCW (7.135), RTTY and DATA (7.159) and a "Howling Waterfall" (7184.84) purposely
timed to obliterate NX6T's calling station's callsign and information exchange.  

There was also a weak (although no-less annoying) "Woodpecker" station in the background.  Contrary to popular hoped-for belief, not only is the Woodpecker back, there is now a half-dozen
or more of the "little critters" - smaller/weaker and yet JUST as annoying.

While tuning around 20-meters on Sunday I heard several Tennessee stations calling CQ in their own state QSO party.  I quickly setup a N1MM+ TNQP log on the local computer and worked the stations as WQ6X from Cliffside, typing the QSOs into the local WQ6X log.  After TNQP was over, I submitted a 4-QSO Ssb log, if for no other reason than to acknowledge their QSO party and say I was there:
"It's NICE, to Know, that You were There..."

Overall, it would seem that dozens of stations (mostly Asian) allowed Space-WX considerations
to interrupt/prevent their participation during this 48-hour event.  Don't take MY word for it - compare the submitted results with last year and years before.  In this instance, statistics don't lie; in fact, they speak Quite LOUDLY.

In the multi-OP categories, it would seem that outside of California, nothing else was happening. 
It would therefore seem that K3EST and NX6T win by default - just for showing up.

DiD YOU show up to the All Asian Ssb contest?
If NoT, WHY knot?

If so, how many Asian stations made it into YOUR log?
