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 in the 2021 ARRL 10 M test. N3UM got
all the CW Qs. W5MPB got all but 1 of the SSB Qs (a DE mult spot
with only N3UM on).
Our goal was to try to come near the best Multi-Op ARRL 10 M
claim in 4 years for K3CCR, 509 Qs and 183K in 2020 with SFI=82.
We didn’t do that, but beat the 2nd-best, a claim of 178 Qs and
60.5K in 2018.
At start 00-0212Z there were only LOS signals, NO sky waves.
We scraped up 40 CW and 8 SSB Qs & 15 state mults, but no DX.
All Qs were in MD and its contiguous states + NC, NJ, and NY.
Sky waves were there 1333-1744Z; we got 28 SSB Qs, mostly SAs,
and 9 DX mults; 7 in SA + V5 in AF. On CW we got just 11 Qs
1534-1609Z but NH, ME, and 6 DX mults; DL, I, HB9, & 2 SAs.
Back on at 1838Z we got lots of U.S. E-skip Qs & mults to the W
and S; on SSB CA, AZ, & PA, then on CW 1909-2142Z 72 Qs in CA, AZ,
TN, GA, FL, AL, MS, AR, and TX. On SSB 2150-0003Z we got 29 Qs and
DC, IN, SC, GA, FL, AL, KY, AR, LA, KS, OK, & TX. Loud sigs, no QSB.
On CW after 0026Z we ran at 70/hr for 30 of 49 Qs till QRT at 0229Z
with 251 Qs, 52 St/Pv mults, and 16 DX mults.
Back on CW 1411-1613Z we got 19 Qs and 6 DX mults; 1 each in NA, EU,
& AF and 3 in SA. On SSB 1623-1847Z we got 29 Qs & ME, OR, and WA.
We got a last 43 CW Qs 1903-2111Z plus OR, WA, & 2 XE states.
We ended on SSB with OA4 & 18 Qs till the band died at 2240Z. We got
only 31 States + DC, and only QC in VE. Spotty Es got us 54 FL Qs
vs 42 MD, 22 VA, & 13 each GA & CA. F layer sigs were loud from SA;
on both modes 32 LU and 30 PY Qs, and 20 of our 30 DX mults. From
other continents, sigs were weak; 4 EU mults, 3 AF, & 1 NA.
