I also found the short RG 8 along with a week day time frame preferable. If you want to make it more challenging, add a larger TX list but just 10 was good enough for me. As others have mentioned, this type event is good for getting folks on the air and providing a little challenge at sending and receiving coded groups with accuracy. Thank you Drew for managing these events. And, especially posting the participant results within minutes of submittal.?
