Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. In 8/22 
NAQP SSB, N3UM and W5MPB operated Multi-2. 

We hoped to beat our 8/21 NAQP SSB results. We did; 0.89X as many 
Qs, but 1.16X as many mults for 1.03X the claimed score. SFI of 
~100 was >80 in 2021, but fewer ops were on; this gave us many 
more mults but lots fewer Qs on 20 and 40 M. 

At 1810Z start W5MPB found 15 M ~empty; 3 Qs in 9 min. A few more 
signals on 40 M; it was open out to ON and IN, but W5MPB could get 
only 10 Qs 1831-1918Z. We got 51 Qs in those 47 min. in 2021. 

A bit better on 20 M, since it was open out to UT and NV. N3UM ran 
for 33 Qs 1808-1851Z, then rate died so he clicked spots for 15 more. 

At 1930Z we swapped bands. By 22Z W5MPB got 39 20-M Qs and N3UM got 
53 40-M Qs, 38 in 2 short fast runs. From 22-00Z we took semi-offset 
breaks to eat. 

Our best hours were 00-04Z; 237 Qs, 59/hr total avg. rate. W5MPB got 
91 Qs, 88 on 40M + 3 on 20 M. N3UM ran for 116 of 146 Qs on 80 M. 

>From 04Z to 0532Z QRT we scraped up just 41 more Qs and 11 last mults. 
W5MPB got 11 Qs + HI and KP4 mults on 40 M, while N3UM got just 4 
160-M Qs and 26 80-M Qs. Only dupes left, so we picked 1/2 hr more 
sleep over maybe 2 or 3 more Qs. 

On all bands we got 40 states plus DC and 5 VE provinces. 
We missed AK, ND, SD, and WV.
