[Mldxcc] good MLDCC contest to persue

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

Greetings Mother Lode, Why yes, I am a recent new member of the club! And I told WC6H that I would try and participate more... now maybe.. just maybe the K6LRG CQP score can go in for the club next year!

Last night I received the below mentioned award, and got to thinking, this and the all asia would be fantastic contests for MLDXCC to persue.  This 20m single band effort last year from K6LRG (V 1.0 prior to antenna system upgrades) was won in about 6 hours BIC time, and felled the NA continental record.  NCCC participation was fairly low.  The all band was operated single op by N6ML @ N6RO.  They have a multi-op entry category.  JIDX does not seem to have a club competition, but an old NCCC MO was to try and win as many (all) entry categories from W6.  Could be something the group may be interested in.  There are records here that are ready to be taken down!  SSB is this weekend.  could be a good warmup and station shakedown for Sweepstakes.

Anyways, greetings to the club!

Plaque sponsor: Tokyo 610 DZ group (I will now try to track someone down in said group to write a thank you letter to).

We had other club members pull additional lumber in this test for various effort levels..

20 meters last year @ K6LRG station was not too difficult to win and secure the 20m North American continental record.  basically point the beam to JA KB Azimuth, call cq and run from band open to JA untill band closed and its done.I seem to remember competition wise, the incumbent record holder was qrv trying to retain it, cq'ing like crazy. Had me worried since I got a late start.
