I very much like this CQ Manchester Mineira DX contest.
It's a DX contest, so you can work any station.
There were many stations calling CQ MM.
In total I worked 5 continents.
I participated a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday evening.
Especially the hours late in the evening are of interest to me, since I wanted to work stations from South America.
I very much like the QSO's over long distances.
The 15 m band was "the band" for an number of excellent DX QSO's.
Nearly all QSO's were made with the maximum power of 2.7 watts of my FT-817, using an Inverted Vee as antenna.
Only in 3 QSO's I used 800 mW or 80 mW.
All QSO's to South and North America are good for 1000 Miles per Watt, since the distance is more than 2700 Miles.
Thanks to the organisation and the operators for the fine contest.
