Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For the 
Oct. 2021 Stew Perry, I (N3UM) was the only CW op available, so 
I did SOHP. 

My goal was to beat the 264 Qs and 717 points W3GB and I claimed doing Multi-Op
Assisted in the October 2020 Stew. I did that, by 44 Qs and 
62 points, Unassisted. Running for 91% of Qs, EUs and high-point W/Ks 
called me. Great condx; Kp always 1, easy to find a low-QRM run freq. 

At 2155Z start, more loud sigs than last year. CQing got 10-Q rates 
of 100-120/hr! Obviously that could not last, but I got 73 Qs 22-23Z 
and a total run of 216 Qs 2155-0110Z, 66/hr. Got 9 EUs from 23 to 01Z. 

After 0110Z, run rate died. I tuned for 22 Qs and 76 points 0118-0201Z 
and got W6s, W7s, and 2 NP2s, then took a 35-min. break from BIC. 

I ran again 0240-0430Z for 62 Qs and 184 points; 35/hr, steady but 
~1/2 the run rate at start. Got W6, W7, and a last 2 EUs (DL) at 0347 
and 0402Z for a total of 11, vs the 13 EUs we got Oct. ’20 with spots. 

Tuning 0436-0502Z got 9 Qs and 21 pts, 8 from one W6. After that only 
dupes were left; time to declare victory and QRT, so I did.
