W Q 6 X
Operations
in the California QSO Party
Since 2000 KX6H/WQ6X has participated in the California QSO Party (CQP), a competition sponsored by the Northern California Contest Club (N.C.C.C.). CQP is a contest wherein California radio amateurs activate radio communications from all 58 California counties, using as many different modes as possible, including: C.W., Voice, RTTY & Data, Satellite and mobile operations. Many stations (such as W6ML) make expeditions to counties with very little radio activity to insure those counties are properly represented during the CQP weekend.
From 2000 - 2003, I sharpened my CQP "claws" by joining the multi-op operations at W6ML in Mammoth Lake (Mono County) sponsored by Jim-W6KC. As Sunspot Cycle 23 began its inevitable decline, in 2004 Jim reverted to single-OP status and I moved-on to activate Ventura County from an empty multi-millon dollar house in Ojai (east of Ventura).
Beginning
in 2005 I began operations using the special-event callsign W6C.
As
material regarding my CQP operations is put online, links will appear
below in reverse-chronological order.
