Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington retirement community 
at FM 18OW in MD. For the May 2015 CQ WPX CW, available ops were 
N3UM and K3DI. We had other obligations, but together we put in 
24 operator-hours, in the Multi-Two HP category.  The first 4 
hours on 40 m. we did S&P so we could work only 6-point EU 
stations and 4 point VEs. That worked well: we got 810 QSO points 
on 40 the first night.  The next days, propagation was good on 20 
and 15 m., much better on 15 than computer forecasts.  We were 
able to get good EU runs on 15 and 20 and some distant Asian mults 
on 15.  We spent only a short time on 10 m.  Interestingly, our 
QSO point totals were comparable on 40, 20, and 15 m.  A winter 
storm flattened our 80 m. dipole under a big fallen tree, and we 
didn't get trees cleared in time to put up a new one, so no 80 m.
