Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 2023
Field Day N3UM and W5MPB did 2E using our reliable Honda 2000EU
generator. N3UM did all CW, W5MPB all SSB.
We hoped to beat our 2022 2E FD pre-bonus claim of 2826. We did that,
by 8 points! We got 14 more Qs, but just 4 more Q pts; N3UM got 10
fewer 2-pt CW Qs, while W5MPB got 24 more 1-pt SSB Qs. Fewer CW Qs
in 1 more hr BIC were because N3UM did no runs but tried out the
Available Mults & Qs window, while in 2022 he ran for 84% of CW Qs.
At 18Z start N3UM got 70 40-M Qs and 101 20-M Qs, while W5MPB got
12 20-M Qs and 57 40-M Qs, for 232 total at 22Z. After staggered
breaks to eat, N3UM got 47 Qs on 20 M and 50 on 40 M and W5MPB
got 24 Qs on 40 M and 8 on 20 M for 361 total at 0032Z when we
stopped to refuel.
On again at 0102Z N3UM got 55 20-M Qs and 100 80-M Qs and W5MPB
got 34 40-M Qs, 6 80-M Qs, and 7 20-M Qs by QRT at 0354Z.
Back on at 1155Z, N3UM got 150 20-M Qs and W5MPB got 39 40-M Qs
till we broke at 1520Z for custom-omelets brunch.
Again on at 1710Z, N3UM got 40 15-M Qs, W5MPB got 1 80 & 11 40M Qs
by 1759Z QRT. Sects are not mults, but they do measure coverage.
We got all 48 contiguous states, but missed AK, HI, & SB, NNY, VI,
EWA, plus 5 VE sects.
Our 1D Qs were 19% of total vs 30% last year. Good to again have a
Field Day with most stations on generators.
