Gotta love CQ WPX â€" I get the entire
range of human emotions when working
this contest like - it's loud,
amazing, incredible, magic, awesome, excellent,
remarkable, fabulous,
formidable, laborious, tough, arduous, challenging,
irritating, toilsome,
wearisome, mysterious, marvelous, spooky, weird, shrill,
diabolical,
staggering, strange, wondrous, unbelievable, extraordinary,
stupendous,
baffling, great, super, lousy, rotten, noisy, absurd, divine,
enjoyable,
fantastic, peachy, phenomenal, staggering, terrific, tremendous,
amazing,
incredible, sensational, strange, unruly, blaring,
unimaginable,
earsplitting, piercing, booming, bizarre, funny, screwy,
ridiculous, unreal,
groovy, ludicrous, freakish, comical, crazy, illusive,
brutal, outstanding,
merciless, rude, vicious, deafening, wild and just all
around fun!
So, pick one of the above and place in front of every
contact, band, hour,
operator, propagation and multiplier and you have the
story of my weekend.
Nifty events included JA9TQY calling me on 15m about
an hour before JAs were
spotted when I was running station on the west
coast. Also, having A71AM
calling me on a short 20m run was a pleasant
surprise. Then on Sunday morning
there was an awesome opening to China on
20m where I worked 3 BAs and a YB
(never before, with my 100w).
Better DX worked included 7Z, 6V, 5W, AH0, KH2, B3, BY4, BY5, 4X,
JA, A6, and
4L. The score is a little less than last year; however, I did
work another hour
longer last year...so, I'll call it a tie. Once
again, there was no solid Eu
opening on 10m; still, I did work a few folks
from southern Europe. It's tough
when you can hear PYs running DL after DL.
Plus, the 15m opening to Japan only
produced one JA compared to about 40
last year. 80M was very noisy and pretty
much useless for low power.
Otherwise conditions were similar to last year and
I didn't have to shut
down for storms.
The station worked great all weekend and WPX is
probably my favorite contest.
Thanks to everyone for the contacts and
working to get my exchange. Lots of
QRM and I know there will be
busted contacts. Also, thanks to CQ and the
contest committee for all
their work.
