Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM,
W3GB, and new member Mike W5MPB operated 3E in Field day 2021.
With non-ham obligations plus adding a 3rd operator position, we
did not start till 1835Z. On 40 and 20 M by 22Z, N3UM and W3GB
got 237 Qs, 71% of them running. Just 28 of the 237 Qs were SSB,
with runs slow and short, QRN from storms to the W, and nearly
no SSB spots.
After 22Z W5MPB got SSB Qs on 10, 15, and 20 M. We took short
breaks to eat 22-00Z. After 00Z N3UM ran for 161 of 200 Qs
on 80 M CW, and W3GB did well on 40 and 20 M CW. At 03Z QRT we
had 508 total Qs.
Sun. 1225-1522Z N3UM got 157 Qs on 40 M CW, 76 in runs. From
13-18Z W3GB ran for 84 of 89 SSB Qs on 20 M and 12 SSB on 40 M,
while W5MPB got 35 SSB Qs on 15 M and 2 on 10 M. E skip and
less QRN made these Sun. SSB results much better than we got on Sat.
N3UM ran for a last 67 CW Qs on 20 M 17-18Z.
We got 289 fewer total SSB Qs than in 2020 with ~equal BIC hrs,
195 fewer on 20 M. Besides condx, was it less activity? Unclear.
We and others noted that in 2020 our percent 1D+1E Qs was way up
and our percent A+B Qs way down from 2018 due to covid waivers.
The table shows our 2021 Q percents ~halfway back to pre-covid.
2018 2020 2021
1D+1E 28% 72% 51% of K3CCR QSOs
A+B (all) 60% 23% 40% “ “ “
