WQ6X Triple-OP's another CQ W.W. Ssb ConTesT

The 2o26 CQ World Wide Ssb contest weekend brought together a disparate (yet related) batch
of amateur radio related events. While I am not normally a fan of worldwide Ssb GiGs (mainly
due to the myriads of different speaking dialects) this weekend progressed rather smoothly
overall considering the mix of hardware and internet variations involved behind the scenes.
2O25 was a completely different kind of operation. ([CLICK HERE] to read about that.)

The major weekend goals were 3-fold:

1. Running low power (LP) as WQ6X from WA6TQT's Anza STN-2 station (while K6AM
   runs STN-1 as a high power (HP) S&P mult-hunting station.
2. Put in operating hours from remote station REM2 @KL7SB running W1AW/KL7.
3. Make a presentation to the Amateur Radio Club of Alameda (ARCA) on the topic of the
   CQ W.W. contest making a few contacts in real-time using the K6QLF club callsign.

The remote station in Ramona was under maintenance for the weekend, which relegated me to Anza STN-2 (with a shared rotor for the 10m/15m yagi stacks and shared KT-36).  The main challenge for the weekend was negotiating the difference in propagation conditions and azimuth directions between Anza and Alaska, as well as the zone distinction (Zone-1 in AK and Zone-3 in W6).

Surprisingly, there were notable openings to SA & JA on 10-meters both days.  While 15-meters is where more of the successful action was at W1AW/KL7, the BiG surprise was 15-meters being open
to EU (over the North pole) near the end of the day.  All this w/SFI=90.

Recent DX contests have noticed a dearth of JA participation.  For the CQ W.W. GiG, JA's were more plentiful than ever - we can only hope this trend will reprise itself in the CQ W.W. Cw contest in November.

When running from Anza, the radio com port was somehow "locked out" requiring manual frequency entry and running the usual F1 -->F4 function keys by way of the DVK buttons on the K3/0-Mini. 
Of course, I managed to resolve the problem an hour after the contest was over.

Because there were no other contests happening during the weekend, it was easy to hyper-focus
on the W.W. Ssb event.  Altho WQ6X managed to put 26 zones (and NN countries) into the log, W1AW/KL7 logged all zones and well over 100 (DXCC) countries.  While I love running single-OP,
it was a kick to integrate with 9 other operators @KL7SB.

Overall, the amazing thing is that this weekend ran as well as it did with the SFI <= 100.

Running another Triple-OP operation made this weekend a complex challenge and more fun.

Is WQ6X or W1AW/KL7 in YOUR Log?
