WB9TFHSO LP ALLMy longest time operating a contest, my highest score ever for any contest. Lots of fun. Had N1MM cruising along using the band map. The condx could have been better. One ZL, no JA's. Lots of EU. Not many SA or Central America. Seemed like more OP's could have been on, it was tough going for runs. Got many SMCer's, thanks. I could of had a lot more contacts, but we had very strong winds here and it affected my RF. I believe it blew my RF off course. Anyone else experience it? Thanks all, CU soon. 73, Gil WB9TFH

WQ6XSO HP ALLThis was a last minute remote operation from NX6T's "QTH in Fallbrook. I ran an Elecraft K3 into an ACOM 2000a amplifier dialed back to 550 watts. Antennas included N1MM+ provided superior logging assistance. Overall, most people probably never figured I was running remote. I was amazed by the number Canadian CF & CG callsigns there seemed more than actual VE & VA calls. Overall, I was disappointed by the lack of unusual weird prefixes, altho there were are a lot of unique 2x1 style calls. This RTTY contest was certainly a LoT of fun. I wrote up this contest for http://WQ6X.Blogspot.Com BLOG http://wq6x.blogspot.com/2017/02/wq6x-roars-remotely-in-2017-wpx-rtty.html
