Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For 
the 2016 CQ WW 160 CW available ops were N3UM and W3GB. We  
each were on air for one of the two EU sunrises, and we both  
slept in for the EST sunrises. Rates were good in the first  
2 hr., 22-00 Z: 146 Qs and 31 states and provinces. Slower 
00-02 Z: 84 Qs and 19 mults.  Condx to EU were fairly good: 
first EU, CR2X at 2303, then CS2C at 0027, and 9 more EUs 
plus some NA and SA before QRT at 0625 with 47 states and 
VE provinces and 20 countries.  Sat. 2nd night, 86 Qs in the 
first 1.5 hrs.  Then we focused on mults, finding 9 more EU 
countries and our last 3 states: OK at 0331, MT at 0538, and 
ID for the last QSO at 0704. Got a total 42 contig. states,    
+ DC and 7 VE provinces. Seemed like a black hole to the NW:  
we never heard ND, SD, OR, WA, WY, or BC.  Also missed NV, 
LB, NF, NS, and the NT provinces.  Our new top-wire-loaded 
T vertical worked well.  We will be back for CQ 160 SSB.
