Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 2021
ARRL 160 M, I (N3UM) was the only CW op available; I did SOHP U.
My goal was to score >100K, and to get 100 more Qs than my best
total of 547 Qs in 5 ARRL 160 tests 2016-2020 doing Multi-1 with
W3GB. I did it, with 651 Qs and a claimed 116.4K.
A bit late starting on an ~OK run freq, I got 54 Qs and 20 sects
W to IL 2209-2259Z. At 23Z I moved 1 kHz to a good run freq, and
got 151 Qs and 22 more sects W to KS and NM in 2.1 hrs, 71 Qs/hr.
Then in 1.9 hrs 0127-0323Z I clicked spots for 71 Qs, SV & 3 EU +
2 NA DX mults. I ran again 0324-0404Z for rare WTX & 61 Qs in 40 min,
92/hr. Rate was good clicking spots 0441 till 0548Z QRT; 81 Qs, 51/hr
+ MT, UT, ID, & SCV. Kp=3 made W6, W7, & EU sigs weak. At QRT, I had
412 Qs and 80 mults.
Back on at 2330Z Sat, I ran for 49 Qs in 40 min, 78/hr. Rate then
died, so I clicked for 120 Qs 0011-0349Z, 33/hr for 3.6 hrs, steady
but slow. And, I scraped up 6 last mults; SK, WWA, + 1 EU & 3 NA.
Run rate was good again 0353-0434Z, 44 Qs at 64/hr. Got 26 more Qs
clicking 0441-0517Z; last 6 Qs took 9 min. Missed NNY, EWA, NV, WY,
MB, and 5 in CA plus hard ones AK, PAC, and NT. For 13 of the 15 DX
mults, I got only 1 Q; no insurance against busts or NIL.
