Comments:

I do enjoy the WAE contests.  The QTC is an interesting variation on the
multitude of contests.  First time sending SSB QTC and with N1MM+ it was very
simple and efficient.

Band conditions were marginal.  20M was decent for a few hours, but much too
few.  40M was noisy and crowded and my poor ears couldn't deal with the
multi-layered calls and exchanges.  80M was simply wall to wall noise.

I doubled up this weekend, switching back and forth between the ARRL VHF Contest
where I used the FT8 Mode.  Very interesting but I need lots more information
than the structured exchange presents.  QTH and Azimuth are two bits of
information that would help a great deal when using wide spaced 5 (or more)
element arrays.  I suppose I'm spoiled by the N1MM+ program.  I hope the WSJT-x
folks and the N1MM+ folks will get together and produce something as wonderful
as regular SSB/CW contesting with N1MM+.

Thanks for the Qs.  73, Vic, W4VIC
