K3CCRMSHK3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. It was clear that 2017 WPX SSB would be part-time for us. W3GB planned to be away for the weekend, and besides non-radio priorities N3UM was away from the 0Z start till 15Z Sat. Starting then N3UM tried and could not run, but got 72 Qs in 1.5 hr C&P (Click & Pounce on spots) for 48/hr on 20 and 15 m. After lunch he got brief runs on 20 m. for 24 QSOs plus 32 more C&P in 1.4 hr. After supper till bedtime 40 m was good for 110 Qs, 54 of them 00-01Z, the best hr. yet, 1/2 running. Got 41 Qs on 80 m., ~half 6-pointers. Sum. AM 14-16Z got 52 Qs on 20, all but 13 C&P. In 3 hr. Sun. PM got one good run on 20 m, 67 Qs in 1 hr 1750-1850Z, plus 70 more C&P, 14 of those on 15 m. Then W3GB came in, unexpected he caught an early plane. He took over for a last 2 hr. on 20 to go over 500 Qs and over 500 K claimed score. We were pleased with that since we were only able to get on for 13.2 hrs. total

K5LGXSA LP ALLRookie, licensed Jan 2016
K5LRWMSLnew contest for the club. the new guys had alot of fun
K5RXSO HP ALLNot much time on the air, but found conditions on 40 and 80 m. quite good with only minor static crashes on 80 m. It amazes me so many Europeans eschew split operation on 40 m. when it is good to 6 pinters in the USA. All split stations were worked with ease - not so much those tranceive

KC1HBGSO LP ALLThis is my first contest, and at first I was not going to participate. I was just in it to help the others with their numbers, so I didn't collect their exchange numbers in the beginning. However, I did start later. I just wanted to ensure that the QSOs were registered I doubt that I am eligible for anything
