K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For the
2023 CQ WW CW, I (N3UM) was the only CW op. I did SOHP Assisted.
I hoped to beat the 1.249 M score I claimed in 2022. I did that,
with 1.19 X the QSO pts and 1.05 X the total mults, for 1.25 X
the claimed score. I did 1.15 X the hours on, but SFI of 180 to
190 vs 110 last year was key.
At start on 40 M 00-0232Z I ran at 71/hr for 124 of 175 Qs, mostly
EU. On 20 M 0244-0338Z I clicked spots for 37 Qs in EU, NA, SA, OC,

Next 1422-1510Z 48 10-M Qs in 48 min, EU & a few SA. Then on 15 M
1511-1623Z I got 66 EU & NA Qs and quit to eat.
After lunch 1835- 1908Z 19 more EU & NA Qs, plus Zones 31, 32, & 28.
Then 48 Qs in 48 min on 10 M, most NA & SA + Zones 31 & 35. Hot on
20 M 1947-2149Z; 92 Qs, many EU + OX, E2, 3 ZS, 3 VK, 6 JA, KL, & VR.
Back after supper at 2334Z, I got C6 & DU on 20 M. On 40 M 2344-
0119Z I got 92 Qs in 95 min clicking spots, most EU. Kp=4 0130-
0247Z; I still got 47 mostly EU 80-M Qs, but 160 M was trashed;
2 Qs! Got 10 40-M Qs by 0302Z QRT in EU, SA, NA, & AF.
Back at 1234-1342Z, I went for bulk Qs and got them. I ran on 20 M
