| K3CCR | M2 | K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and W3GB did Multi-2 HP in Feb. 2020 CQ WPX RTTY. We???ve done NAQP RTTY for years, but 48-hr. HP RTTY tests are a bit new for us before WPX we did only CQ WW 9/19 for 706 Qs, and ARRL RTTY 1/20 for 830 Qs. For WPX RTTY our plan was to go for 6-point Qs when 40 and 80m. were open to EU, 3-point EUs on 20m. in daytime, get any available NA, SA, and AF Qs, and work W/Ks mostly for mults. This worked we got 3.4 pts/Q overall. We started well from 00-05Z W3GB ran for 134 of 168 Qs on 40m, and N3UM ran for 83 of 126 Qs on 80m. We got 1108 Q points from 282 Qs for an avg. 4.0 pts/Q over the 5 hr 132 Qs were W/Ks, but most were mults this early. From 05-07Z W3GB got us to 1348 pts and 244 mults, 49% of our final 501 mults. Daytime Sat. 1446-1808Z we got just 180 QSO pts and 51 mults in 3.5 hrs W3GB did EUs on 20m, N3UM W/Ks on 40m. Our next 3.2 hr. 1922-2234Z were much better, as 40 opened to EU 395 pts, 75 mults. Our 5 hrs. from 2312 to 0412Z QRT on 40 and 80m. were slow, 292 pts and 40 mults. Most of our 100 Qs were 2-pt W/K and 4-pt NA Qs, and just 32 EU Qs on both bands. Sun. AM 1310-1620Z on 20m. N3UM got 92 EU Qs out of 98 total for 285 pts and 67 mults. He clicked spots no room to run. The last 5.5 hrs to 2230 QRT were not bad for a Sun. PM 408 pts and 41 mults, 20 and 40m. The 32 6-pt Qs helped W3GB got most of them |

| K6OK | SO HP ALL | I lost about 30 minutes Sunday AM when my telnet cluster connection went down. I checked the Windows firewall, the router, internet... to no avail. Being a spot clicker I felt kinda lost -- what, you mean I actually have to turn the Big Knob to hunt and pounce? I found manual dial twisting to be quite fun on Sun morning as the 20m EU opening was quite good. SO1R, tribander and shorty 40 at 65 ft, 80m dipole. 500 watts. Thanks for the Q's! |

| KL2ZZ | SO HP ALL | Somehow missed logging WC1X/VE2 exchange. Bummed. Used contest as FLDIGI training - realized I haven't used it in years. FLDIGI is quite manual in contest mode, especially in that the frequency set for VFO A on SSB is not automatically followed by VFO B set to data. And of course, you have to manually select the exchange in the text. I am fairly sure I have a high error rate on the exchanges because of this |
