WQ6X Embarks on another Ssb Sweepstakes

(NOTE: This Blog piece was written while enroute to W7AYT's operating QTH)

It is nearly difficult
to fathom that the Cw Sweepstakes is already
2-weeks past/passed
and JIDX is just another distant DX Memory, until April's epic JIDX Cw GiG.  


The Fall Contest Season is well under way with 6-Weeks left before the New Year. 
The year 2023 has encouraged a LoT of QRP Radiosport activity, that is for sure.

If you look back on the variety of Ssb Sweepstakes Events WQ6X has been a part of,
([CLICK HERE]) the goal is for 2023 to represent yet another interesting chapter in the World
of WQ6X-Sweepstakes.  The 2023 Ssb Sweepstakes is destined to be yet another dual-OP opportunity running WQ6X from Ramona, remotely from the SF East Bay area, as well as
remoting into our ANZA Superstation as NX6T.  

Running QRP Ssb GiGs can be a bit tedious; luckily, this is a domestic contest, with no real
language barriers - only Northern/Southern dialect differences.  This year, the operating challenge comes from the ARRL contest committee's restructuring of some of the Eastern Canadian section names; we survived it two weekends ago - this weekend should be easier.

Because it is so compact, I have repurposed an old laptop bag into service as a "GO-Bag"
for the K3/0-Mini and its related RRC-1258 Internet Interface Box, along with a repurposed
laptop power pack with a 2nd power plug spliced onto the original.







As it turns out, arriving @W7AYT's QTH found me EXHAUSTed, so I began
the afternoon with an afternoon nap be-4 "Installing" the K3/0-Mini installation
into the installation already installed in the Concord installation.

          ( STAY  TUNED  FOR  THE  RESULTS )
