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 Feb. 2020 NAQP RTTY. 

W3GB did 40m, N3UM did 20m. and then 80m. Our goal was to  beat 
the 290 Qs and 88 mults we got in 2/19 NAQP, when some time went 
to CQ 160 SSB. We did that. 

In the first hr. 18-19Z N3UM ran for 33 Qs on 20m. and 15 mults; 
HI, CA, and 11 more W. of the MS river. In that first hr. 40m. was 
a bit slower; W3GB clicked spots and then ran for 20 Qs and 13 mults, 
all E. of the MS river. 

>From 19-21Z, 40m. rate went up and W3GB ran for 61 Qs, while 20m. 
rate went down and N3UM clicked spots for 50 Qs. At 20Z and again at 
21Z we were 2 Qs apart! 

N3UM got a last 25 slow Qs on 20m. 21-2215Z, then broke to eat. 
W3GB ran for 37 of 59 Qs on 40m. 21-2328Z, then took his break. 

When N3UM got back at 00Z, 80m. was good; he got rates of 30 to 45/hr. 
for 210 Qs, 71 running, and 42 mults till 0557Z QRT. Great luck when 
Kp fell from 4 to 1 after 03Z. 

W3GB got back on 40m. at 0024Z for 82 more Qs, 35 running, for 225 Qs 
final at 0448 when rate died. 

On all 3 bands we worked 44 states and 6 VE Pvs. We missed 
AK, ID, ME, ND, RI, and WV. On 40m. W3GB missed only DE and SK 
of our total 50 St/Pv, but got our only OK and VT Qs. Our final 
claim of 67.6K was 2.6 times our Feb. 2019 NAQP RTTY score.
