Comments:

I really, really like this new contest because it is so different from any
other. Best feature are the three "sandboxes" to play in per band:
FT4, FT8 with contesters, and FT8 non-contesters.  Second best feature is the
distance-weighted scoring.  Putting these together and there are a lot of
strategic decisions to be made to optimize your score. You can't just park on a
freq and run stations all day.

Since this is a DX contest and not a rate contest, I chose to emphasize FT8 over
FT4 (about a 60/40 split). I'm glad I did because when seeing FT-8 and FT-4 side
by side on the same band, it appeared FT-8 is a lot better at decoding weak DX
signals. Most of my 4- and 5-pointers came from FT-8.  

I'm really looking forward to next year's version. Icom 7300, old tube amp at
350 to 400 watts, tribander and 2-ele 40 beam at 65 feet, 80m dipole at 58 feet.
