Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 2022
SS CW, I (N3UM) was the only CW op here; I did SOHP U.
My goal was to beat my 705 Qs and and 115.6 K claimed doing SOHP U
in 2021 SS CW. I came close; claimed 0.93 X the Qs and 0.95 X the
score in 0.94 X the BIC hrs. And, I got a sweep, vs 82 sects in 2021.
I was relieved to do OK despite a major-event non ham- radio
distraction and senior-citizen need for enough sleep and real meals.
>From 2101Z I ran at 51/hr for 142 Qs and 58 mults on 20 M by 2347Z.
I then ran at 43/hr for 130 Qs and 7 mults on 40 M by 0255Z. I got
40 Qs and 4 mults running on 80 M, 52/hr 0300Z to QRT at 0347Z with
312 Qs. Had 75 more Qs in 2021 at 0431 QRT.
Sun. AM 1330-1452Z I got 90 Qs on 40 M, 83 of them in a run at 67/hr,
then 38 Qs on 20 M 1458-1614Z, 17 running, for a total 128 Qs at
1614Z QRT for lunch. (In 2021 SS CW I got only 107 Qs 1310-1616Z; I
tried but could not run on 40 or 20 M.)
Back on at 1811Z, 20 M was slow. I clicked spots for 47 Qs in
1.4 hrs; no runs, no mults.
Semi-desperate, I tried 15 M. Wow; red spots for rare mults, with
good sigs. I got PAC at 1942Z, VT at 1956, AK at 1959, and NT at
2009Z for 83 mults, all but WY!
On 20 and then 40 M 2034-2137Z I got 43 Qs but none in WY, so I
broke to eat. After supper 2323-0115Z I got 68 Qs on 40 M, WY at
0105Z for the sweep. Then, 32 last Qs on 80 M, 24 in a run at 75/hr.
