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 2023 CQ WPX test. 

We hoped to beat our 2022 claim of 1275 Qs and 2.16 M score. We did; 
1.06 X the Q pts and 1.04 X the mults, for 1.1 X the score. SFI of 
160 gave us 452 more Q pts and 66 more mults on 10 M than in 2022, 
but high Kp gave -255 pts and -42 mults total for ALL the other bands! 

>From 00-0340Z N3UM ran for 19 of 94 40-M Qs, then got 56 80-M Qs and 
quit to return early. From 00-0443Z QRT W5MPB got 138 Qs on 6 bands; 
67 20-M Qs, 34 15-M Qs, 2 10-M Qs, 20 40-M Qs, 11 80-M Qs, and 4 160-M 
Qs. Note the impact of Kp=3; few QSOs on 80 and 160 M, most for 1 pt. 

On at 1146Z N3UM got 2 15-M Qs and 5 10-M Qs, then 136 Qs on 20 M, 75 
in a run at 66/hr (avg 2 pts/Q} and quit to eat at 1525Z. W5MPB got 
on at 1255Z and got 61 Qs on 15 M and 50 Qs on l0 M, then quit to eat 
at 1634Z. 

Back 1759-2106Z N3UM got 87 Qs on 20 M, 33 in a run at 66/hr, 
and quit for chores and supper. Back 1720-2222Z W5MPB got 152 Qs; 
74 on 15 M, 53 on 10 M, and 25 on 20 M, and broke to eat. 

Back 2241 to 0414 QRT N3UM got 82 40-M Qs, 69 80-M Qs, and a pitiful 
3 160-M Qs. W5MPB 0002-0242Z found high bands open in darkness; he got 
27 15-M Qs and 15 20-M Qs, and quit to return early. 

Back on 1049-1544Z W5MPB got 7 40-M Qs and  6 20-M Qs; he then got 
68 Qs on 15 M and 56 on 10 M and quit to eat. N3UM 1333-1518Z got 
just 18 Qs on quiet 20 M & quit to eat.

10-M Qs. N3UM 1745-2305Z got 75 Qs on 20 M and a last 6 on 40 M.
