[SCCC] Fwd: NO6T (N6NC) WPX CW

[HL Serra]

Hi Tim-

It works great! Under separate email I've attached the draft article sent
to the ARRL for QST or NCJ. Much anecdotal experience (listening into CW
rag chew btwn two Chinese stations, and to low power JAs trying to work a
domestic special event station in Hokkaido.

In 2012 WPX CW (which was admittedly mostly a high-band contest) I worked
only one AS/OC station on 40m. In 2013 in 14 hours (40m SB) I worked 108
AS/OC stations, 30% of my 40m total. Pretty good for little flat roof here.

Cheers, Larry
