Hi I have found FM on 223.5 and 446.0 to be reasonably productive during the
sprints. I seem to recall picking up another grid by using FM in one of the
recent Sprints. I should also put a bit more effort into FM on 2M during the
2M Sprint.
That being said I do agree that the main focus is on SSB / CW.
