Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington retirement community.
For CQ WW CW this year available operators were N3UM and K3DI.
N3UM had welcome family houseguests over the weekend, so was
limited to 2.7 hr. very early Sat. plus the last 4.7 hr. on Sun.,
getting good EU runs on 20 and 15 m. K3DI was able to put in
15.5 hr., getting ~2/3 of the total QSOs and 3/4 of the mults.,
making good use of skimmer and packet spots. The summary by
bands makes it obvious this contest was dominated by excellent
high-band conditions. It did not seem either necessary or very
productive to spend much time on 40 or 80 m. More time on 10 m.
would have been profitable: we simply didn't have the operator-
hours available, and were getting very good rates on 20 and 15.
The exceptional high-band conditions are illustrated by our
near-DXCC on 15 m., 93 countries in 23 hours. In the last 3 hr.
of the contest we worked 33 band-countries and 16 band-zones
on 15 m. and 10 m. Seemed pointless to try 40 m. as is often done.
