[CQ-Contest] CW & SSB NA Sprint Scores

[RT Clay]

In most SSB contests, the extra qso's come from casual ops (not serious contesters). Because of the Sprint QSY rule, you work very few casual ops during the contest. 

It just happens that the participation is higher for CW Sprint than SSB Sprint, so CW scores are higher as well.
