Comments:
This is the 1st-ever WQ6X SS-Cw GiG running QRP from the S-West Division.
Researching Section/Division records it was noticed that the SOA QRP
record for the Southwest Division was easily surpassed. Accomplishing
that goal and putting in approximately 8-hours in the remote chair for
NX6T made for an exciting Sweepstakes weekend.
Conditions on Saturday were quite good. On Sunday the solar storms plagued
us creating noise everywhere and weird fast-fading of signals that fooled me
into thinking they were coming in from Europe, but were in fact N. America.
An unusual pain-in-the-ass was the DOZENS of purposely FAKE internet spots
being submitted to the 40-meter bandmaps on Sunday morning. When I saw NX5T
constantly being spotted on the NX6T run frequency, I knew it was NO accident.
Another issue is the deliberate FT8 signals in the Cw portions of the bands
when those signals NEVER occur during non-contest periods. These IDIOTs need
grow-up and get a life. If they spent as much time operating legitimately
as they do disrupting others, the bands would be a different world.
However, overall this weekend was a success and WQ6X seems to have
over-doubled the previous high-score record for the ARRL S-West Division.
