This was the 1st WQ6X Cinco de contest operation running QRP.
Having access to KN6NBT's "Cliffside" location on top of the mountain
in Ramona made QRP operation a reality.
Many stations had trouble believing I was really a QRP station.
Having access to a 3-el Stepp-IR, a 2-el Shorty-40 and a double-Bazooka
on 80 (all at 50 feet) allowed me to point the antennas giving the 5-watt
signal just enough oomph to be heard domestically, altho numerous DX calls
were also received on the high bands.
Internet dropouts prolly accounted for my voice sounding choppy sometimes.
The 7QP turnout was quite plentiful, altho certain expected counties were
noticeably missing. Then again, there were dozens of county line expeditions
which made up for some of the missing areas.
I was surprised by the smaller (than expected) turnout from California.
Nevertheless, I always submit a log for EVERY contest, just in case other
W6 stations don't.
