Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 2023
SS CW, I (N3UM) did SOHP U, as the only CW op.
I hoped to beat the 655 Qs and 110 K claimed score I got in 2022 SS CW.
But, I was held to 0.98 X the Qs & 0.99 X the score by Kp of 6 to 7 in
Sunday daylight. I was glad to ~match last year and get a sweep despite
these bad conditions.
The first 7 hrs were great, Kp=4,3,2. On 20 M I ran at 58/hr for 114
of 120 Qs 2103-2313Z. On 40 M 2322-0118Z I ran for 102 of 115 Qs at
53/hr, then for 30 Qs at 64/hr by 0212Z. Then 36 20-M Qs & 13 40-M Qs
for a total of 314 Qs & 75 sects at 0337Z QRT.
Back at 1214Z, Kp=6, 40-M sigs few and weak; 18 Qs cleared the bandmap
by 1239Z. Tried 20 M; 1 Q! On 40 M agn 1257-1406Z, 38 Qs. Ran on 20 M at
48/hr for 72 of 79 Qs, 1410-1608Z. Got LA and QC for 84 sects by 1449Z.
One 15-M & 2 40-M Qs by 1618Z and I broke to eat.
After lunch Kp=6; got 61 20-M Qs 1903-2034Z, & only 15 15-M Qs 2041-
2101Z. A last run 2104-2146Z on 20 M; 34 Qs at 50/hr, and broke to eat.
After supper Kp=5,4; I got 58 40-M Qs 2351-0119Z. At 0040Z I got K9DX/3
in DE for a sweep! His # was 221 B, sure to go up; huge pileup. It had
been 10 hrs since I got section mult # 84.
Last 21 Qs on 80 M from 0124-0201Z QRT; up to ME, out to TX, but none S.
