K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W3GB operated Multi-2 in Feb. 2020 NAQP RTTY.
W3GB did 40m, N3UM did 20m. and then 80m. Our goal was to beat
the 290 Qs and 88 mults we got in 2/19 NAQP, when some time went
to CQ 160 SSB. We did that.
In the first hr. 18-19Z N3UM ran for 33 Qs on 20m. and 15 mults;
HI, CA, and 11 more W. of the MS river. In that first hr. 40m. was
a bit slower; W3GB clicked spots and then ran for 20 Qs and 13 mults,
all E. of the MS river.
>From 19-21Z, 40m. rate went up and W3GB ran for 61 Qs, while 20m.
rate went down and N3UM clicked spots for 50 Qs. At 20Z and again at
21Z we were 2 Qs apart!
N3UM got a last 25 slow Qs on 20m. 21-2215Z, then broke to eat.
W3GB ran for 37 of 59 Qs on 40m. 21-2328Z, then took his break.
When N3UM got back at 00Z, 80m. was good; he got rates of 30 to 45/hr.
for 210 Qs, 71 running, and 42 mults till 0557Z QRT. Great luck when
Kp fell from 4 to 1 after 03Z.
W3GB got back on 40m. at 0024Z for 82 more Qs, 35 running, for 225 Qs
final at 0448 when rate died.
On all 3 bands we worked 44 states and 6 VE Pvs. We missed
AK, ID, ME, ND, RI, and WV. On 40m. W3GB missed only DE and SK
of our total 50 St/Pv, but got our only OK and VT Qs. Our final
claim of 67.6K was 2.6 times our Feb. 2019 NAQP RTTY score.
