Comments:
There's a REASON it's called a WEIRD prefix contest, LoTsa weird things
happen as well as the Weird callsigns. Nevertheless, working around shack
heat problems in Fallbrook (as I ran ~1350 watts much of the time),
on Sunday I dialed it back to a mere KW - Oh the sacrifices we make.
Last weekend in the XE-RTTY contest, the 14.100 beacon corridor was completely
QUIET. This weekend in the WPX GiG I was APPALLED at how it was JAMMED
with signals OBLITERATING the beacon copy - no WONDER non-contesters HATE us.
For this weekend, a recent change in Ethernet connections all but
eliminated dropouts on the W7AYT end of the remote connection.
If I disappeared on you it was due to the occasional 1.5-minute
internet dropout that sometimes occurs in Fallbrook.
I put out CQ calls several times on 10-meters (Saturday AND Sunday)
and had no takers; altho somehow I had a feeling the band was open.
With the recent SFI = 71, it ain't no easy thing, but I gopherit anyway.
The RBN showed no 10-meter spots; then again it showed no activity on 80-m
altho I was running frequencies more-or-less all evening.
You'll notice I send "5NN" instead of 599 in a contest requiring a
serial #
afterwards. It's easy to confuse 599 with the serial # as happened when
I received: WQ6X TU UR 599 599 599 - HuH?
Overall it was an enjoyable RTTY GiG. I enjoyed all the activity from
14.101 to 14.145 and 21.100 - 21.40. The room is there - use it and enjoy
relatively QRM-free contesting.
I will write up this GiG soon at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
