No. The February Sprints changed several years ago from CW first
weekend to SSB first weekend. I think this was to avoid a CW contest
conflict with the FOC Marathon. They do not alternate. However, it
would only be a matter of degree anyway, since the LMRE RTTY Contest is
the first weekend of February. I was only able to use about 7 to 8 khz
of the General Class CW band in the FOC Marathon during the height of
the opening during that LMRE RTTY Contest. I think the CQ WPX RTTY
Contest would probably bring out more RTTY activity and may cover a
longer period of time. Since we are interested only in 4 hours on
Saturday night, it makes a difference only in the number of participants
during those four hours. 73, John, K4BAI.
