WPX SSB Contest Report

I operated in the CQ WPX SSB contest this past weekend using my Flex 6600M at 100 watts into simple wire antennas.  This was my first serious attempt at WPX.  As many know this is a tough contest with only 100 watts and wire antennas !  Plenty of time and patience are required to put up a decent score.  I have to say that the SSB filters in the Flex are very good.  I was able to pick out and work DX stations that were wedged between strong US stations.  I also have to say the transmitter in the Flex is VERY robust.  I hammered that poor boy on 80 meters with my horizontal loop antenna that didnt want to behave about 3700 Khz.  Very high SWR and the power just folded back and kept on transmitting.  I put in 30 hours and worked 667 contacts for 552,335 points.  Not to shabby for a little pistol !
