Comments:

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

N3UM and W3GB operated M1 HP in 2018 SS CW. We both had non-ham 
obligations, but we got on for 16.7 hrs. N3UM ran on 20 m. to 
start. Rate was slow; only 39 Qs 2100-2230Z vs 84 last year on 
20 m. with same op and same gear. SFI was minimal, just 67. Skip 
was long, sigs from W7, W6, and beyond very loud. In the first 
1.5 hr. on 20 we got 29 mults including 7 of 9 W7 sects, 5 of 9 
CA sects, plus VI, AK, PAC, QC, ONN, MB, SK, BC, and NT(!) 

Rates on 40 m. after 2230 were also slow and skip long. W3GB worked 
80m. after 0030 and filled in many closer sections. Sun. 12-16Z 
skip was more like normal; N3UM got 126 Qs and quit 4 sections 
short of a sweep. 

After 16Z W3GB got more Qs plus NNY, ONE, and on 15m PR, but we 
never heard NE!  We ran for 55 Qs on 40 and 80 m. in the last hour, 
lots of fresh meat with numbers under 200. We were pleased to get 
60 more Qs and 3 more sections than last year when SFI was 72, but 
it took us 16.7 vs 11 hrs. to do it.
