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,

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.
Best â€" Jere
