Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and 
W5MPB operated Multi-2 HP Assisted in the 2022 CQ WPX SSB test. 

SFIs of 119 & 130 made high bands super. But Kp of 3-4 made low bands 
poor Sun. So, we got 802 more high-band Q pts than in 2020 when N3UM 
and W3GB did M-2, for a net plus despite getting 569 fewer low-band 
Q pts this year. We thus claimed a 7% higher score than in 2020. 

At start W5MPB got 96 Qs on 20 M and 23 Qs on 40 M 00-0410Z, then 
quit to return early. By 05Z QRT N3UM got 101 Qs on 40 M and 114 on 
80 M, 76 in a 1-hr. run, his first. 

Back at 1050Z, W5MPB got 211 Qs by 1740Z, all but 2 on high bands. 
N3UM 18-21Z got 103 high-band Qs. We QSYd between the high bands as 
bandmaps cleared. 

Back at 2239Z W5MPB got 74 Qs on 15 & 20 M, 43 on 40 M, and just 9 
on 80 M by 0309 QRT. N3UM 2346-0038Z got 116 Qs on 40 M, 96 in a 
52-min. run at 110/hr. 

>From 1114-1514Z N3UM got 60 20-M Qs, 45 in a 40-min. run at 68/hr, 
and 99 15-M Qs, 56 in a 45-min. run at 75/hr. W5MPB 1533Z to 2139Z QRT 
got 153 Qs on 20 thru 10 M. N3UM 1846-2046Z got 46 Qs on 15 and 10 M. 

N3UM got 656 total Qs and W5MPB got 615, within 1.5% of 50/50. 
W5MPB had more BIC hours, N3UM a higher rate due to running.
