Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For the
1/17 CQ 160 CW, N3UM and W3GB did Multi-Op Assisted. N3UM was on
mostly the 1st night and W3GB the 2nd night, each with a relief
break of ~1.5 hr. from the other op.
Condx and activity were quite good; K typ. 1-2, and 228 Qs by
N3UM running at 77/hr avg. for the first 3 hrs 22-01Z. Also got
37 state and VE-province mults in those 3 hrs, and CN2AA answered
a CQ at 0036, our first DX mult. Ran for 24 more Qs at "only"
68/hr and then clicked spots for 4 more DX mults 01-02Z. Until
QRT at 0640Z we got fair rates click & pounce, 25-33/hr, and
found 19 more DX mults including 13 EUs and 15 more St/Pv mults
including ID, OR, CA, AB, and BC to the NW.
Second night started with W3GB getting 48 Qs click and pounce,
23-00. After 00Z rates slowed as we ran out of stations to work.
N3UM did get 51 Qs running 0157-0241, all W/K, but it was quite
slow after that. We got 8 more DX mults and 3 last St/Pv mults
(NF, NV, MB) the 2nd night, most worked by W3GB.
In all we got 45 contiguous states + DC and 10 VE provinces;
missed NE, SD, WA, LB and the 3 NT's. Band was open to NW USA
only on 1st night, but good to EU both nights. We made 57 DX
Qs in 32 countries including 20 EU countries.
We wanted to do better than our 1/16 CQ 160 CW result and we
did, in every way: 90 more QSOs, 6 more St/Pv mults, 2 more
DX mults, and a 44.5 K higher claimed score.
