Comments:

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

For the first 4 hr. of PAQP, 12-16 EDT Sat. we found loud signals 
and good rates on 40 m. phone, but just 12 Qs and weak signals on 
the high bands: it was similar last year. From 16-19 EDT 40 was 
SLOW, 13 Qs/hr., then dead after 1943 EDT. Found nobody on 80 m. 
until our first QSO there at 1827 EDT, but then 80 m. rates were 
good on phone and CW until we quit at 2248 EDT.  

Sun. 0900-1032 EDT we got 13 phone and CW Qs on 80, then 13 more 
1637-1800. But, like Sat. most Sun. Qs were on 40 phone: 109 out of 
154. Those last 4 hrs 14-18 EDT were SLOW again on 40: 10.3 Qs/hr!  
But, we wanted to top 500 QSOs and 40K points, and we did both. We 
worked 66 counties by 2030 EDT Sat., but did not find no. 67 until 
1218 EDT Sun.: Juniata.  We were pleased to improve on the 340 QSOs, 
65 counties, and 28K points we got in 2015 PAQP.
