Comments:

I got started late and worked the first five hours on 20 meters using my 6M Ham
Stick dipole (unintentionally).  Stayed on FT4 the whole time; went to FT8 for a
few minutes and listened.  Decided the best option was to stick with FT4.  The
pacing of FT4 is the most like a RTTY contest.  I liked being able to switch
between RUN and S&P.  I think by the end of the contest most folks had
figured it out and repeats weren't as problematic.  FT4 contesting still has
some growing to do with a glaring need for training sessions so that operators
get a feel for the rhythm and flow.  N1MM+ & WSJT-X worked great together -
need to be able to resend 73 message when necessary w/o adding another entry to
the log - maybe MY training need.  Looking forward to the next one!
