WQ6X WorKs a WiLD and WooLeY WeirD RadiosporT WeeKEnd

In preparation for this weekend's collage of radiosport GiGs, I took my own recent advice, known as RTFR - Read the Rules.  While it is uncertain how many events WQ6X can manage this weekend, especially because MOST are all jumbled into Saturday.  Nevertheless, here is the list to choose
from:

• [X] - Estonian ES OPEN HF Championship - Starting @05:00z
• [X] - Worked All Provinces of China (WAPC) - Starting @06:00z
• [X] - CQMM DX Contest - Starting @09:00z
• [X] - Michigan QSO Party (MIQP) - Starting @12:00z
• [X] - Quebec QSO Party (QCQP) - Starting @13:00z + Sunday
• [X] - Ontario QSO Party (ONQP) - Starting @18:00z + Sunday
• [X] - EA QRP Contest - Starting @18:00z + Sunday

On paper, I had the timeclock mapped out starting @05:00z, 06:00z and 09:00z, then 17:00z
and 18:00z.  For various reasons, as you can see, several contests ended up being lined out.

For the ES OPEN and WAPC GiGs, no stations were heard in Southern California for these events.
As far as VE2/VA2 stations are concerned, while several were worked during the CQMM event, no Quebec stations were heard calling CQ QCQP.  What good is it to schedule a QSO party when your
own operators don't participate?!

The decision was to run the various contests from my Alameda office remotely to WA6TQT's 

STN-1 enabling QRP operation fed into yagi stacks on 40 - 10 meters and a 4-Square Vertical
Array on 80-Meters.

The major event was the South American based CQMM contest which began at 09:00z, altho things
didn't start until after 16:30z. While the rules prohibited signing as WQ6X/QRP, the sent exchange
was 599 NAQ (Q=QRP).  Other stations got 10-points (instead of just 1) for working each QRP
station - a bonus after the fact.

There were unfortunately many notable things that occurred throughout the weekend:

• Medium-lousy Space-WX
  10-meters barely opened on Saturday and was open mostly to South America.
  We got multipliers for each South American prefix, making up for lack of other continents.
• There were no JA openings on 15-meters both days and POOR JA participation on
  other bands.  40 and 20 meters were littered with numerous non-CQMM JA stations
  playing in their own domestic JA contest(s).
• For reason, the N1MM software did not score the contest properly.
  To submit the 3830Score submission, multipliers had to be determined manually.

When it was all over, it would seem that WQ6X took 1st place worldwide for QRP.

DiD YOU work the CQMM contest or state QSO parties?

Is WQ6X in YOUR LoG?
