Perhaps we could just move one of the Sprints to the third weekend of
February. Then the other Sprint could rotate between the first and second
weekends,
dividing the conflict between the FOCers and the RTTYers, and avoiding the
Valentine's Day conflict in the appropriate years.
Yeah, I know there's some other DX contest scheduled for the third weekend,
but that's of serious interest only for the East Coast guys, who by and large
don't operate the Sprint anyway. For the rest of us, the 0000z-0400z block
is a pretty slow time, when the diversion of four hours of high rate would be
a welcome breath of fresh air.
Furthermore, we all know that all the great contest operators live on the
East Coast. These guys are so good they could operate the Sprint with the
second or third radio and beat the rest of us mortals from out west anyway.
