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 Feb. 2019 NAQP RTTY Multi-op 2 Tx. 

For the first time we had two radios on RTTY. We were on for 
4.5 hr to start, 1815-2245Z, W3GB on 20m. and N3UM on 40. On 20m. 
rates were slow and skip was long; 15 CA QSOs and 11 in TX plus 
1-3 in BC, NV, NM, AZ, CO, OK, WA, and WY, but no W8s or W9s. 

On 40m. rates were ~2X better and skip short to medium; lots of 
Qs in W1-W4 and W8-W0 but just 1 TX and 1 SD QSO in the west.

 At 23Z it was time to eat and put one of us back on the CQ 160 
SSB test as it got dark. (We were operating MO2C, Multi-Op 2 
Contest). N3UM went to 160 SSB and stayed late. W3GB did 80m. 
RTTY for over 5 hr. BIC and got great results; 135 Qs, 60 of 
them in a 1-hr. run 0353- 0453Z. He found 40 mults including 
AZ, UT, NV, CO, SD, OR, and WA plus many nearer. 

These 80 m. numbers gave us by far our best NAQP RTTY score, 
well beyond our past 100-200 Qs on RTTY.
