Comments:

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. 

For 2016 WPX CW available ops were N3UM and W3GB.  Both of 
us had other things going on but together we put in 23 hr. 
BIC, with two transmitters on in about half of those hours.
 
It was exciting to use our new K3S with P3 band scope in a 
major contest for the first time: we we quite pleased with it. 
The other main radio is an Orion 2. 

To start, S&P on 40 m. was good to EU, so we made lots of 
6-point Qs.  In contrast 80 m.  was poor: only 14 Qs, 2 EU. 
But 03-04 Z we worked ZL, VK, UA0, and other DX mults on 20 m.  

Sat. as expected there were a few EUs on 20 m. 12-15 Z but 
many more 19-21 Z. We tried 15 and 10 m. briefly but made few 
Qs. After 00 Z Sun. 40 m. was again good to EU, with some runs, 
and 20 m. had lots of DX mults. 80 m. again poor, few 6-point Qs

During EDT daytime Sun. we stayed on 20 m. Again slow in the AM 
but ran for 87 Qs in 1.7 hr. after 19 Z, mostly EUs.  We had to 
quit early at 21 Z and do other things.  Rates slow by then.
