It was time to refurbish the home station and WPX CW was a good opportunity to
sort out some issues. Unfortunately condx to W/VE were almost non-existent at
this QTH so the contest sounded a lot like RDXC. I managed to do some amount of
SO2R although antenna choices for the 2nd radio were limited and interference
severe on some bands. Staying home for a contest felt good, though!
