Comments:
This was another WQ6X remote operation from NX6T in Fallbrook.
I ran the K3 into an ACOM-2000a amp at around 1kw.
I used all the antennas on tower #2 (80-m Inv Vee, 40-m Yagi & 3-el
Stepp-IR).
While the space weather condx were horrible (poking "holes" in
signals),
The upper bands were certainly open (according to DXMaps.Com at any rate).
I was amazed by how strong many stations were. It was nice to add a
couple of new countries to the WQ6X Fallbrook area log.
Because I was running remote I spent more time running frequencies, simply
because it is much easier then "turning the knob" remotely via
RCForb.
Wassup with the WEIRD scoring of this contest: 116 Q's = 500k points? HuH?
Something that really SHOCKED ME was to find the "corridor"
surrounding
the 14.100 NCDXF beacon frequency was ACTUALLY clear!
I have been complaining about this in my contest BLOG for years.
It was nice to see that people were respecting the beacon frequency for
once in a populous RTTY contest. If we can do that in the upcoming WAE
RTTY contest, I will be completely stoked.
