The CW Sprint has 50%+ more participants (and logs submitted) than the SSB 
Sprint, and four times more than the RTTY Sprint.

Logs received:
                CW  SSB  RTTY
2004-fall     194   112   44
2004-spr     219   150   69
2003-fall     209   110    43
2003-spr     202   136    63
2002-fall     187   114    42
2002-spr     170   126   34

I'd encourage another CW Sprint now, and wait until activity levels on SSB or 
RTTY top 200 logs before considering expansion.
