[CQ-Contest] WPX Contest Question

[Gary McAdams]

Hello Guys,


I have a question about the WPX contest.

My call is WG7X and with this call, I always
thought that I would be a popular fellow in 
the various WPX contests. This has not
been the case, ever, and I have participated
in quite a few of these tests.

Recent rules changes have made Q's on the
same continent worth at least one point, and
with my WG7 prefix I'm also a multiplier. 

During the SSB test, I was S&P'in and many
stations said: Thanks for the mult!" and quite
a few gave me the unsolicited "big signal"
report. (DX and Domestic)

So, given that I have a fairly good signal, and
a weird call, I wonder why I could not get even a
small run going? S&P got me to about 350 q's
(and almost every one a new mult) but I could not
get any answers to my CQ's...

Should I expect to be sought out as a needed
multiplier, or continue to participate in my normal
way in the S&P mode? W7's are literally a dime
a dozen and I've always thought that the WPX offered
myself and others a way to be popular, if only
for a short time.

Thoughts?

Gary, WG7X
