K3CCRM2calls not spotted. Worked 87 countries including JA and A6. was, well, spotty, worth maybe another 1/3 of Qs. S&P found many 309 Qs running, 34% of our total. When runs died, clicking spots W3GB made 3 more runs on 40 m. of 14 to 31 Qs. In all we made and QSY���d to work W4MYA, and didn���t lose the run freq. Yes! ran on 80m. for 129 Qs 0109-0226 Sun, 101/hr. He clicked a spot 2303 Sat. W3GB ran on 20 at 75/hr, 40 Qs in 31 min. Next N3UM 20 m. by N3UM peak of 81/hr for 22 min did not last. Then 2231- we could. First good run was 51 Qs in 1 hr. 1820-1920Z Sat. on came back. 0n 80 thru 20 we tried often to ���Run ���Em!��� sometimes our T antenna went offscale on initial PA tuneup ~03Z and never 10m., nearly all with SA and Caribbean countries. On 160, SWR of surprise to get 11% of our Qs and 10% of our mults on 15 an and mult totals on 20, good on 80, briefly OK on 40. A pleasant 12-16Z Sat. AM. The whole contest was like that very good rates rates did not last on 40m. But 80m was good till 04Z, and 20m 40m at the 0Z start, then 40 and 80 after the first hr. Good better score than we did in 2017 in 13.2 hrs. We were on 20 and W3GB operated Multi-2 for 25.7 hrs, and as hoped we got a much retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC.
