Comments:
This was another Dual-OP operation from WQ7AYT's QTH in Concord.
While putting in about 6-hours remotely @NX6T, I managed to find
plenty of time to operate WQ6X from the East Bay (EB) section.
Despite some HORRIBLE Space-WX throughout the weekend, 80 - 15
meters presented some good conditions. Starting up early on 40
meters Sunday, I was amazed to hear OX7M calling CQ at 00:30z.
I actually had an LU5 and several Europoeans call on 20-meters
which was otherwise a disappointing band. Where were the 80-meter
operators? And, what happened to 10 & 160? CQ SS calls there
produced no callers - Bummer Dewd.
The FT-1000mp into a an 8JK phased Cobra array about 12mh did a capable job.
Using the recently furbished Stereo-CW setup (via a pair of QF-1A analog
filters back-ended with an MFJ-784 (Left ear) and NIR-10+NIR-12 (Right ear)), I
positioned calling stations in a 180-degree ARC within my listening experience,
making pile-up running considerably easier.

I will be dual-OP'ing the Ssb Sweepstakes as well - look for me there.
