Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. In the
9/21 CQ WW RTTY test, Ben N3UM and Mike W5MPB operated Multi-2 HP.
Mike does SSB contests, and was an IT pro. He had not done ham
RTTY before, but wanted to try it and learn. Mike did learn RTTY,
and had fun. And, we claimed a decent score; 70% of what N3UM and
W3GB got in 2020, though we had no HPA for the Omni VI+ Mike used.
At the 00Z start N3UM did 40 M and briefly coached W5MPB on 20 M
till he made Qs himself. We quit before 03Z with 103 Qs and came
back at 1115Z. High bands were wide open to EU; N3UM on 20 M and
W5MPB on 15 M got lots of 3-pt. Qs and mults. By 15Z we had 244 Qs,
34% of our final claim, but 60% of our final Zone + Cty mults.
After 15Z we did 20 and 15 M with offset breaks to eat till 00Z,
when we had 1/2 of our final Qs. N3UM 00-04Z QRT got 60 Qs each on
40 M and then on 80 M. W5MPB got far mults on 20 M, e.g. ZL in
Zn 32 at 0327Z.
Sun. we were on 1430-2358Z, mostly on 15 and 20 M, and got many
state and VE Pv mults we had missed going for 3-pt Qs earlier.
N3UM got 61 last Qs on 40 and 80 M 22-24Z.
W5MPB is now a RTTY op. He got all our 15 M Qs and 26% of total Qs,
but 35% of total mults including 4X, LU, JA, and KH6, with 100 W.
On all bands we got 96 ctys, 7 VE Pvs, and 41 CONUS states.
We missed DC, RI, VT, DE, SC, NM, WY, and ND.
