Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington retirement community 
in FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For the July 2015 CW NAQP available ops were
K3DI, N3UM and W3GB. With ages from mid-70s to mid-80s we face slower QSO rates,
less appetite for long hours BIC without breaks, and/or rusty CW skills.  We
hoped commitment, teamwork, and good setups (Skyhawk with triplexer, high
inverted Vs, Orion II, FT1000MP Mk5, MRP40 CW copier, AR Cluster V6) would
compensate: they did, reasonably well. Operating Multi-two, we had two BIC for
most of the 12 hours, never less than one in all half-hours. As a team we were
pleased to claim 689 QSOs (57/hr avg.) and a score of 103K, better than we did
as single ops years ago in this Test.  Propagation and activity were pretty
good on 15 thru 80 m.  We worked 45 states, missing only DE, RI, VT, SD, and
AK.
