In between my long operating shifts @ NX6T (9:00Z -14:300z & 00:00z -
04:00z)
I found time to activate WQ6X from the Fallbrook location that was not being
used this weekend (NX6T operated from WA6TQT's QTH)
Throughout the weekend, Dennis (N6KI) elmer'ed me on the fine art of working
the hidden camera system in Fallbrook, all so I can see the colored louvers
disappear, indicating the A/C has been successfully turned on in the amplifier
den of the wiring morass in Fallbrook. As weird as it looks, we win contests
with it.
Thanks to ROTTEN QRN (Low-SFI, High K-Index) I had to dance around the noise.
The secret to making it all work on the high bands was to point the 3-el
Stepp-IR to SA, open it up BI-directionally to include Asia and then just
Call CQ. Occasionally KH6 or VK/ZL would creep in adding to the fun.
Sunday morning, noticing that all 3 Russian Beacons were alive on ~7.039,
pointing the antenna towards Asia, I put out a CQ on 7018.18, keeping things
alive for the next 2.5 hours. The amazing surprise was the Northern Europeans
and Ukraine who managed to creep thru from time to time. I want to thank the
pileups for standing by and letting their S-3 signals flutter across the pole
into my Fallbrook location; quite south, when you think about it.
While I love the exchanges, I get frustrated by the station who BARRELS
THRU with his callsign. I send him a report and he sends his callsign
TWICE - then Nothing! HuH? It took 3 exchanges to make ONE 3-point QSO.
This happened repeatedly. If you don't know the rules - READ 'EM.
If you DO know the rules then: PAY ATTENTION!
