WQ6X Works the WEIRDEST Weird Prefix Contest - EVER

wOw!  Who woulda thunk it that the 2023 Weird Prefix Contest would end up being as WEIRD
as it turned out to be.  As I began writing this intro, we were NoT quite 1/2 of the way through the event itself.  A side benefit of the WPX weekend was the addition of a Douk Audio 4-channel passive audio mixer, which wisely obtains its power from the computer's USB sub system. 

This box enables mixing sound from the K3/0 and the Yaesu FT-2000 or the classic ICOM 7000. 
On the other end of the audio line, a 4-pole switch box enables switching between any of 3 speaker combinations or a pair of OWNZONE wireless headphones.

Being an Ssb contest, this GiG many times brought Billy-Bob and his brother Barney out of the propagation woodwork.  Then again, the most annoying IDIOT was the Dingle-Dork, who went into
a lengthy diatribe about how his buddies frequently meet on 3777.77 (my EXACT run frequency), implying that somehow Billy-Bob and Barney somehow actually somehow "OWN" the frequency
and therefore, we use it with their [implied] permission?  HuH?  wOw!

Just prior to the contest weekend, a MAJOR solar storm BLIND-sided planet Earth, bringing us
a K-Index of 7.  Altho typical of higher SFI #'s, while the storms may be severe, the recovery time
to be much improved (to the degree the SFI is high).  From the above PiCs, it would seem that the storms settled out in less than 8-hours.

A plausible explanation has finally been tendered explaining the RTTY activity I often hear in the
40-meter phone spectrum (mainly during Ssb radiosport events).  Early Sunday morning (12:35z),
on 7134.75, I copied an MCW station ID'ing itself as "RDL", sending strings of 5-digit number groups.  Then, after a pause, a more-or-less 1.5-minutes of fast-RTTY is sent; followed by "RDL" back in MCW
mode once again.  This repeated itself at seemingly random intervals.

([CLICK HERE] to learn more about RDL.)
WTF is the Russian military doing conducting traffic-passing operations midday (in Russia) in the middle of a worldwide amateur phone band.  It should be noted that the spectrum 6.945 - 6.955
is completely unused - the world over.  Why NoT use THAT?  Am I missing something Here?

Propagation was WEIRD all weekend.  Then again, that is HARDLY weird, considering we were playing in the Weird Prefix Ssb contest.  In retrospect, there were only a handful of callsigns that would REALLY Qualify as WEIRD; even WQ6 is NoT really THAT Weird.  

Nevertheless it was like the song says "It's Nice, to Know, that You were THERE...." 
And yes, WQ6X WAS there - all 5-watts QRP, all the time.  

While I was hoping for a larger QSO total, more important was proving that QRP truly CAN be
"the SHOT heard 'round the Whirrrl'd".  Despite the FIXED position of ALL antennas, in the direction they were focused at, WQ6X cut a LOUD path thru the dense RF fog.

DiD YOU work the WPX Weird Prefix Ssb Contest?

Is WQ6X in YOUR LoG?
