Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W5MPB operated Multi-2 HP Assisted in the 2023 CQ WPX test.
We hoped to beat our 2022 claim of 1275 Qs and 2.16 M score. We did;
1.06 X the Q pts and 1.04 X the mults, for 1.1 X the score. SFI of
160 gave us 452 more Q pts and 66 more mults on 10 M than in 2022,
but high Kp gave -255 pts and -42 mults total for ALL the other bands!
>From 00-0340Z N3UM ran for 19 of 94 40-M Qs, then got 56 80-M Qs and
quit to return early. From 00-0443Z QRT W5MPB got 138 Qs on 6 bands;
67 20-M Qs, 34 15-M Qs, 2 10-M Qs, 20 40-M Qs, 11 80-M Qs, and 4 160-M
Qs. Note the impact of Kp=3; few QSOs on 80 and 160 M, most for 1 pt.
On at 1146Z N3UM got 2 15-M Qs and 5 10-M Qs, then 136 Qs on 20 M, 75
in a run at 66/hr (avg 2 pts/Q} and quit to eat at 1525Z. W5MPB got
