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-1 HP in the June 2020 Stew Perry. 

Our goal was to beat the 175 points we got in June 2019, our only 
other time in the June Stew. We did that. N3UM got on first and ran 
for 3.1 hr 2252-0158Z at “summer rates”, ~20-30/hr. At times no 
one answered for 8-12 min. Most Qs were for 1 or 2 points, but 
at ~01Z there were two 5-pointers, VO1’s in GN37. 

At 02Z we were still behind our 6/19 score. W3GB then got on for 
the anchor lap 02-05Z, pouncing on high-point-value Qs as sunset 
moved west. He got some 2- to 5-point Qs, and in the last hr. DN26 
for 7 points plus CM98 and CN85 for 8 points each. He took our 
score to a claimed 233 points at 05Z, 133% of our 6/19 result. 

After 05Z W3GB found nobody to work; not clear whether propagation 
died or most ops quit to sleep. We intend to do the Oct. and Dec. Stews.
