Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 2023
ARRL 160 M, I (N3UM) was the only CW op available; I did SOHP U.
I hoped to beat my 2022 ARRL 160 M score claim of 98,335. Nope;
not even close. I got 0.8 X the Q pts and 0.87 X the total mults
for a score of 0.7 X my 2022 claim. Condx were poor in 2022, but
even worse this year.
Started 35 min.late; ate early, not early enough! But, ran 2236-
0036Z for 180 Qs, 90/hr even with Kp=5; N to ONE, S to VI, E to
EMA, & W to STX.
Then 0043-0211Z I clicked spots for 87 Qs, 59/hr. A run of 21 Qs at
69/hr & clicks for 10 Qs in 8 min. got 298 Qs & 51 mults by 03Z, vs
306 Qs & 58 mults at 03Z in 2022. I never got that close again.
I clicked for 51 Qs & ran for 21, total 370 Qs at 0442 QRT.
Back on at 2203Z, I did runs till rate died, then clicked till band
map cleared. I got 3 runs of 32, 24, & 29 Qs, and clicked for 19,
13, & 13 Qs between them. At 02Z I had 500 Qs + CO, AR, & NB for a
total of 53 sections.
>From 0200-0406Z QRT I clicked for 48 Qs in 2.1 hrs, 23/hr, + PE, ND,
& UT. And I got V26 XE TO9 & P40; all mults weak sigs w/QSB & many
repeats. Got no W6, no W7 but AZ & UT, no VE4-7, and heard no EUs.
