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-2 HP in Feb. 2020 CQ WPX RTTY.
We’ve done NAQP RTTY for years, but 48-hr. HP RTTY tests are a bit
new for us; before WPX we did only CQ WW 9/19 for 706 Qs, and ARRL
RTTY 1/20 for 830 Qs.
For WPX RTTY our plan was to go for 6-point Qs when 40 and 80m.
were open to EU, 3-point EUs on 20m. in daytime, get any available
NA, SA, and AF Qs, and work W/Ks mostly for mults. This worked;
we got 3.4 pts/Q overall.
We started well; from 00-05Z W3GB ran for 134 of 168 Qs on 40m,
and N3UM ran for 83 of 126 Qs on 80m. We got 1108 Q points from
282 Qs for an avg. 4.0 pts/Q over the 5 hr; 132 Qs were W/Ks,
but most were mults this early in the contest.
From 05-07Z W3GB got us to 1348 pts and 244 mults, 49% of our
final claim of 501 mults.
Daytime Sat. 1446-1808Z we got just 180 QSO pts and 51 mults
in 3.5 hrs; W3GB did EUs on 20m, N3UM W/Ks on 40m.
Our next 3.2 hrs. 1922-2234Z were much better, as 40 opened
to EU; 395 pts, 75 mults. Our 5 hrs. from 2312 to 0412Z QRT on
40 and 80m. were slow, 292 pts and 40 mults. Most of our 100 Qs
were 2-pt W/K and 4-pt NA Qs, and just 32 EU Qs on both bands.
Sun. AM 1310-1620Z on 20m. N3UM got 92 EU Qs out of 98 total in
3.2 hrs for 285 pts and 67 mults. He clicked spots; no room to run.
The last 5.5 hrs to 2230 QRT were not bad for a Sun. PM; 408 pts
and 41 mults, most on 20 and 40m but 53 pts and 11 mults on 15m.
The 32 6-pt Qs helped; W3GB got most of them.
