Submitted for MLDXCC

W6RKC 2009 CQ WPX CW contest:


226 Qsos...........518 pts X 190 Pfx = 98,420



Have not been on since the ARRL DX Phone contest. Last year, the XYL 
let me move into the house from the garage ( if I downsized ). So, I 
moved the rig into the front bedroom ( kid moved out ). Wired it up 
nice with (2) 20 amp 110 VAC & a 30 amp 220 VAC line, crawled under 
the house ( more than a few times ) to run coax, rotor, control & 
ground cables and got everything put together and working nice. Then 
the back bedroom freed up when that kid moved out and she decided 
that we had to "do the two rooms over" and the room with the radio 
equipment would now be the 'Foo-Foo' room, all nice and frilly, for 
when guests come to stay and I could move everything to the back 
bedroom. So, I had to take it all apart, put down new floors, new 
doors, new lighting, paint, etc. Finally got the AC & coax connected 
back up the Thursday before the contest and was able to get back on 
the air. I may reorganize it a bit, but I think the basic 
configuration is here to stay, so I'll be able to add a few points to 
the club scores from now on.

Nice second place finish for MLDXCC in the ARRL 160 contest, local 
club category! Lousy write up though, no mention of MLDXCC in the QST 
version ( it is in the Web version ) and I could not find a mention 
of Ken's P40TA #1 DX winning entry anywhere in those write ups! Nice job Ken!
