Please submit it!  It seems to be a member of a natural sequence of sequences:
Abundant numbers with exactly 0 subsets of proper divisors that sum to
n: 70, 836, 4030, 5830, 7192, 7912, 9272, ... (Weird numbers A006037)
Abundant numbers with exactly 1 subsets of proper divisors that sum to
n: 20,78,88,102,104,114,138,174,186,222, ...
Abundant numbers with exactly 2 subsets of proper divisors that sum to
n: 12,18,42,56,66,100,176,196,208,348, ...

None have any small odd members, apparently.
