Comments:

This was another WQ6X remote operation from NX6T in Fallbrook.
I ran the usual Elecraft K3 into an Expert-2K amplifier dialed
back to around 700 watts keeping the shack-heat down to a mild
toasty temperature. I began with a C-31 yagi for the high bands
until a pair of THIEFS towed the tower trailer away for next 
weekend's CQP GiG.

Switching over to the 3-el Stepp-IR allowed running BI-directional,
working JA & SA simultaneously.  While I found little 15-meter
activity, calling CQ identified a PIPELINE to South America.
One by one, new countries and zones quickly made it to the log.
Because of the low sunspot cycle, 40 meters made almost as many
QSOs as 20.

My BIGGEST BEEF were the IDIOT LIDs who were running RTTY on
EXACTLY 14.100.1 - the 20-meter NCDXF Beacon frequency - KNOCK 
it OFF Dingle Dorks.  (Note to contest LCR software or humans, 
DQ ANY LOG that has 14100 as its operating frequency.)

The BIGGEST difficulty were the random 2-3 sec. internet dropouts 
causing the VNC viewer (my logging screen) to FREEZE.  This would 
require terminating the frozen program and starting a new instance.
If I seemed to "disappear" and then come right back but unexpectedly,
this is probably the reason.  I must've restarted VNC 500+ times during
the weekend - I kid you not.
