This was a radiosport contest weekend that got sidetracked by another contest weekend.
The two weekends prior to the classic CQ WPX ("Weird Prefix") Cw contest are relatively quiet contest periods, depending on what I do with them. This 3rd weekend in May happened to coincide
with the Toastmasters District-57 final conference prior to being merged into a new District: D-205.
Because the conference was held in Rohnert Park, I made the trek over to the GRATON casino to scout their Blackjack tables (very disappointed) and then check-in with the district speech contest chair in case I happened to fluke my way into the district speech contest at the last minute.
NoT being a contender in the May contest, I high-tailed it back to my Alameda office just in time to
watch the speech contest live video stream while tuning the bands for any ARQP stragglers while keeping an eye out for K-o-S CQ calls. Eventually, not hearing much, WQ6X put out a series of
CQ calls, attempting to "force the band to open". (Remember, if everybody is listening and no
one is calling CQ, any band can sound: dead, Dead, DEAD!)

Probably the easiest way to explain the King-of-Spain GiG is to share the score I posted
to the 3830 Scores Website. This is whut I said about this year's King-of-SPain GiG:

When it was all over, the only thing I really have to say about this relatively quiet contest weekend
is - "I WUZ THERE!". Otherwise, it was nothing more than a remote access training exercise.
DiD YOU work the King-of-Spain CW contest?
Is WQ6X in YOUR LoG?
