Comments:

This year WQ6X ran the SSB WPX contest solo from a cabin in Twain Harte
California.  The low Solar Flux & high A/K indices were quite a
disappointment.  The upside is that there were a plethora of new/unusual
prefixes to drive the scores higher and higher.  For the 1st time in WPX I
heard QSO counts of over 7,000 - wOw!  I ran the ICOM-7000 with a Yaesu FT-900
(and it's internal tuner) as backup into an SB-200 amplifier.  Antennas were an
OCFD dipole at 55 feet and a pair of phased Cobras as a 1/2-wave sloper pointing
to the South Pacific at 65 feet.
