Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. Ben N3UM and
Mike W5MPB did Multi-Op HP in the 2022 SSB Sweeps, as we did in 2021.
N3UM ran, and W5MPB clicked spots for mults and always-CQing ops.
At start the 12-V power supply for the K3s was dead; N3UM lost 19 min.
putting in a spare. His 20-M run rate 2119- 2325Z was just OK, 100 Qs
at 47/hr, then 20 more Qs by 00Z. Odd, since sigs were good and he got
42 sects; AB, BC, all but SF in W6, all but WY in W7, plus IL, TN, GA,
and sects in between. (In 2021 at start, N3UM got 166 Qs but 36 sects
21-00Z.) In a 40-M run 0006-0151Z he got 85 Qs & 12 mults w/ ND and VI.
W5MPB 0214-0643Z then hopped back and forth between 40 and 80 M as he
worked all spots on one band while they built back up on the other
band. He got 32 Qs and 4 mults on 40 M; NL, PR, PAC, and PE. On 80 M,
he got 64 Qs and 14 mults, including medium-rare RI, DE, NNY, WV, & VT.
At 0643Z QRT we had totals of 299 Qs and 72 mults.
In daylight 1227-1412Z N3UM got 116 40-M Qs in 2 runs at good
rates; 56 Qs at 79/hr, then 60 Qs at 65/hr, plus 6 mults, none rare.
Then on 20 M 1431-1555Z N3UM got SK and 40 Qs, 26 in a run.
W5MPB came in at ~1615Z, but saw a bad computer crash soon after.
Restart, reconfig, & resync took time, so no Qs logged 1555-1702Z.
By 1945Z W5MPB got 14 Qs and NT on 20 M, plus WY and 14 Qs on 15 M.
At 2010Z N3UM got MAR and 29 20-M Qs, then 37 40-M Qs and our 83rd and
last mult, ONE, at 2156Z.
W5MPB 2208-0047Z got 19 40-M Qs, 4 20-M Qs, & 1 80-M Q. From 0100-0247Z
N3UM ran for 91 80-M Qs, 53/hr till rate died. We never saw or heard AK.
