Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W3GB did Multi-Op Single HP in 2019 ARRL 160.
At start 2200-0126Z, N3UM ran at 72/hr. for 249 Qs, 43 easy sect
mults, and EA. We took turns 0130-03Z and got 59 more Qs, 7 sects
including far AZ, AB, and SD, and 3 ctys. W3GB did late shift
03-07Z for 69 Qs, 5 ctys, and 6 sects; LA, rare NE, and far sects
OK, ID, MT, and SDG.
N3UM ran 2015-2200Z for 84 Qs; no sect mults, but S5 at 2140Z.
He got 4 more EUs via gray line 2205-2212 clicking spots; SM,
F, OM, and CT.
From 2213-0159Z W3GB got 71 Qs, 3 cty mults, and NNY in a pileup
at 2230Z. On late shift 0215-0638Z, N3UM ran for 125 of 179 Qs,
but got only 3 cty mults, DL, D4, and GW; few late loud EUs this
year. But, there were sect mults; PR plus far-west EB, OR, ORG,
ND, WWA, and SV.
We claimed 15 more Qs than in 2018 but 5 fewer sects and 7 fewer ctys,
with ops, gear, and hrs. about the same, low QRN, and Kp = 0 or 1.
The mults just weren’t there this year; 160m. propagation can be like
that. We missed WTX, NV, WY, EWA, AK, PAC, 5 CA sects. and 5 VE sects.
