Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. As the
only CW op, I (N3UM) did SOHP U in the 2023 ARRL CW DX test.
I hoped to beat my best ARRL CW score at K3CCR, 965 K in 2018.
I did that; 0.984 X the Qs, but 1.32 X the mults for 1.3 X the
score. Low Kp and high SFI helped.
At 0Z start 20 M was thin. I ran for 26 Qs, 58/hr. Rate died,
so I clicked spots for 46 more Qs at 55/hr. Better on 40 M; I
got 192 Qs 0130-0439Z, 61/hr, mostly EUs, just 45 in a run.
Then I clicked for 55 Qs on 80 M from 0443 to 0530Z QRT.
Back at 1307Z I clicked 8 mults in 6 min. on 20 M. Then on 15 M
1318-1504Z I clicked for 120 Qs at 68/hr, nearly all EUs. I got
84 10-M EU Qs at 67/hr by 1642 and quit for lunch.
Back at 1919Z I got 25 10-M Qs by 1945Z. Then on 20 M I got 108 Qs
1951-2127Z, 55 of them running at 84/hr. I got 20 10-M Qs by 22Z
and quit for supper.
On 40 M 0036-0133Z I ran for 61 Qs, 63/hr, then clicked for 28
more at 56/hr by 0208Z. Then 46 Qs at 56/hr on 80 M, 20 Qs on
160 M, and a last 5 Qs on 80 M by 0409Z QRT.
Back on 20 M at 1301Z I clicked for 4 mults in 4 min. Then on
15 M 1310-1508Z I clicked spots for 82 Qs and ran 1512-1558Z for
71 EU Qs at 93/hr! On 10 M I clicked for 21 Qs in 23 min. and quit
for lunch at 1630Z.
Back on 10 M at 1854Z I got GU & TF mults. Then on 20 M 1902-2146Z
I clicked EUs for 133 Qs at a steady 49/hr till the bandmap was
clear and I had 1157 total Qs. I wanted 1200 Qs, AND QRT by 23Z to
avoid a late supper. Since 15 M was open to SA, I beamed S to get
43 PYs & LUs. Only ~12 were spotted. BUT, there were 30+ JA spots!
I got 31 JA Qs 2207-2244Z, + 15 SA and 2 NA Qs, for 1204 total at
2255Z QRT. Rare mults; 9N, OX, V8, & ZD7.
