Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. As the
only CW op here for 2022 WPX CW, I (N3UM) did SOHP Assisted. My
total of 740 Qs was 70 more than I got in 2021 WPX CW doing M/2
with W3GB, but 70 fewer than I got in 2020 with W3GB when condx
were better. Non-ham-radio duties, normal meals, and getting
enough sleep limited my BIC time to 17 hrs in all 3 years.
At 0Z start, WX reports had T-storm and tornado watches. I got 19
20-M Qs in 20 min, then went QRT for 25 min. while WX radar plus
thunder showed lightning < 8 miles away. On again I got 38 more
20-M Qs, then 66 40-M Qs in 66 min. by 0254Z. But, QRN and Kp=5
ruined 80 M; weak sigs, 14 Qs, then 16 more on 40 M by 0348Z QRT.
Back on at 1240Z, Kp=2; I got 31 20-M Qs in 34 min, then 2 Qs in 9
min! Got 61 Qs on 15 M, slowly; it took 1.9 hrs. QRT at 1523Z to eat.
>From 1819-2024Z, 20 M was much better than at ~13Z; 106 Qs in
125 min, 28 of them in a run at 67/hr. Got 12 15-M Qs in 14 min,
plus KL, VK, LU, & 2 JA by 2040Z QRT to eat.
Back at 0006Z I got 73 Qs on 40 M, 40 in a short run at 90/hr.
I got just 8 Qs on 80 M by 0145Z QRT to sleep.
Early EDT 1125-1304Z I got 57 20-M Qs, then 39 15-M Qs, and all 18
of my 10-M Qs by 1524Z QRT for lunch. On 20 M 1816-2002Z I got 76
20-M Qs, 43 in a run at 67/hr, then 39 15-M Qs by 21Z QRT to eat.
I then ran on 40 M 2315-2359Z for 65 Qs in 44 min, 88/hr, and 191
QSO pts! Nice way to end it.
