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-Op 2-Tx HP in the 2019 VA QSO Party. 

Both of us had non-ham commitments but did 20 hr. total BIC, 4 hrs. 
with both of us on. Our 2016-2018 VAQP efforts taught us that most 
Qs from MD will be 80m. SSB, with only a few available on CW and/or 
40m. Same story this year; 82% 80m. SSB, 10% 40m. both modes, and 
15% CW on both bands. 

This was clear from the start. In the first 2.2 hr. W3GB made 64 Qs 
on 80m. SSB while N3UM scraped up just 16 Qs on 40m, CW and SSB. 
N3UM ate lunch, got on 80 SSB for 26 Qs while W3GB ate, then got 14 
more Qs on 40m. W3GB got 60 more Qs on 80 SSB till 21Z. 

By 21Z we had 180 QSOs and 80 mults after 7 hr, 57% and 71% of final 
totals. We took offset supper breaks, then did only 80m. till the end. 
N3UM got 41 Qs 23-01Z, 21 on CW, and 8 mults. W3GB did the late shift 
01-0330Z. It was slow; he got 20 SSB Qs and 6 mults. 

Sun. daytime was also slow. N3UM got 26 Qs and 9 mults in 2.3 hr. 
1233-1453Z. W3GB then got 39 Qs and 17 mults in 5 hrs. BIC spaced 
out over 1650-2330. 

We were happy to claim 113 mults, 12 more than our 2018 previous 
best, and to claim a 4.9K higher score despite 7 fewer Q points. 

It was fun to chase VA mobiles for 28 “hard” mults. Thanks W4GO/M, 
KJ4OAP/M, AK2M/M, and AB4YK/M. Thanks also to W3JRD/P for 7 mults.
