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 July 2021 IARU contest. 

Our goal was to beat our best result, in 2020. We did that in 91% 
as many BIC hrs, with 81% as many Q pts but 126% as many mults, to 
claim a 2% higher score. We got more mults and fewer Q pts because 
the C3 for 10 & 15 M was OK in 2021 but bad in 2020. 

We did what has worked best for us in IARU; do mostly CW on 40 and 
20 M, and get lots of HQ mults and 5-pt Qs. For the first 15 hours 
12-03Z we alternated 2.5-hr. shifts. This let us rest, eat, do 
chores, and come back fresh. 

On 20 M 12-13Z N3UM ran for 75 Qs and 15 Zn but no HQ mults, then 
clicked spots for 32 Qs and 24 HQ mults. Next shift 1430-17Z W3GB 
did 15 M and 20 M CW, and tried 20 M SSB (slow), for 34 Qs and 22 
mults. At 17Z we had 139 Qs, 371 pts, and 62 mults. 

N3UM clicked spots 17-1930Z for 62 CW Qs, 53 on 20 and 9 on 15 M, 
plus 13 HQ mults. W3GB 1930-22Z clicked on 4 bands for 20 CW Qs 
each on 10 and 15 M, 6 SSB Qs on 10 M, and 11 CW Qs on 20 and 40 M. 
Wow, 25 HQ mults and 12 Zone mults in 57 Qs. 

>From 22-0030Z N3UM ran for 121 of 152 Qs and 23 HQ mults on 40 M CW. 
He got 90 Qs 23-00Z, our best hour. From 0030-0240Z W3GB got 70 Qs 
on 40 M, then 7 Qs on 20 M by 0250Z. 

In the last shift till QRT to sleep, N3UM got 19 HQ mults and 98 CW 
Qs; 63 on 80 M 0255- 0406Z, 20 in a run, then 13 on 160 M, 4 more 
on 80 M, and 18 on 40 M by 0512Z, when rate died. 

W3GB came in near local dawn 1042-1157Z and got 33 CW Qs on 15 M 
and 7 on 20 M, all in EU except 9G in AF, for 148 Q pts and 13 HQ 
mults to get us just past our 2020 claimed score.
