Purely subjectively, I would guess that the optimum skip distance was around
400 miles. The good thing though, was that unlike in the SSB event, stations
closer to me were also coming in at good strength.  In short excellent
propagation for this contest.  A wobbly carrier decided to park on top of me
for a while, but conditions were such that I could copy through it ok.
I'm getting a little better at using the second receiver S+P , but there's a
lot of room for improvement.
Usual set up..Dipole at about 70ft and 100W from an FT1000mp.
Ended up with 142 QSOs.
