WQ6X Successfully Navigates a 5-Way California QSO Party

The 2024 California QSO Party (CQP) was LOADED with participatory possibilities.  My personal operating goal(s) included engaging with as many of those opportunities as could be effectively experienced over a 30-hour contest operating period.  Having access to a Catalina-42 sailboat
before, during and after the CQP added yet another dimension to CQP as an operating event. 
My time was divided between 5-Events:

1. Running as W6R to set a San Diego (SDIE) county QRP record.
2. Activate K6QLF w/the Amateur Radio Club of Alameda (ARCA) on Ssb.
3. Activate WQ6X using an ICOM-7000 from a boat in the OYC Yacht Harbor.
4. Run the 1am to 4am shift remotely from Anza (RIVE county) for NX6T
5. Activate WA6OYC (Oakland Yacht Club) M/S QRP, to set an Alameda County record.

At 5pm Sunday, CQP had been over for 2 hours.  Using the SNAP-Shot screen capture software, each of the 5 log stat screens were saved to the local hard drive, becoming a part of the Blog repository used to create the pictures used in this (and future) blog write-ups on CQP.

It would seem that the best way to explain some of what happened is to simply present pictures 
which showcase what was posted in the 3830 Score submission(s).  The goal of setting a NEW
San Diego County QRP record was easily accomplished.

When the internet was down I put WQ6X on Ssb from WB6RUC's Catalina-42 sailboat.
NoT having a CW paddle handy for the ICOM 7000 this operation became a SSB only operation.

I ran the 1am to 4am Sunday morning shift for NX6T running remote from Anza in Riverside (RIVE) County.  It would seem that NX6T took a resounding 1dt-place for the Multiple-Single category.

The 5th and Final event on the operating calendar was to put the Oakland Yacht Club (WA6OYC)
on the radio running QRP giving us the M/S QRP record for Alameda County - just for showing up.  Overall, we took a 2nd-place for California
