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 operated Multi-2 in CQ WW CW 2018. 

At 0Z start we were both on for 4 hr. clicking spots on 40 and 80m, 
and got 246 Qs. W3GB quit to sleep at 04Z. N3UM got the total to 
315 Qs by 0640Z QRT, 22 of them on 160m. 

W3GB came early Sat. and got 235 Qs clicking spots on 20m, 1128-
1700Z. N3UM came later. After a few Qs on 15m, at 17Z we had 591 Qs 
and 328 mults. Mults were a high 55% of Qs since we had only clicked 
spots. Obviously we needed to run EUs and get bulk QSOs. This didn’t 
happen till 19Z when N3UM got our first run, 78 Qs in 70 min on 40m, 
plus 53 more clicking spots. 

Low bands were then slow till 0436Z QRT with 889 Qs. Sun. AM 20m. was 
good to EU and N3UM ran for 281 Qs 1227-1610Z to get 1173 total Qs. 
One more 40m. run got 110 Qs 2004-2119Z. That plus some spot 
clicks by both of us got us to 1360 Qs at 2130. 

W3GB then got us to our final 1472 claimed Qs with fast spot-clicks on 
40 and 5 more Qs on 160.  We were QRV for 34.1 hrs. Our claimed 1.79 M 
points was more than the 1.76 M we claimed in 2017, despite an SFI 
of 70 vs 77 last year. 

It was a surprise to do well on 15 m; SA, but also some EU and AF. On 40m. 
we got A4, A6, A7 in the mideast, 3 VKs, ZL, AJ, plus 5H, 6W,, and 9X in AF.
