[CQ-Contest] New rally frequencies for NA Sprint SSB

The published rally frequencies are out-dated and 'stupid', given the 
new allocations on 40m and 80m.

In talking with KW8N during the Sprint practice tonite, he mentioned 
a movement back east to move the frequencies to:

80m:  3760 to 3810, but avoiding the DX window of 3790-3800.
40m:  7150 to 7200.

These frequencies include General Class ops.

Why steer activity into Pig Farmer frequencies on 75m, and broadcast 
carriers above 7200?

Contest managers need to think about this, both Sprints and NAQPs, even SS.

So let's do this on Saturday, and comment on it in your 3830 posts.
