[CQ-Contest] Least favorite operating month

[dave pkministrywebs.com]

Here’s a solution… What if the CW and SSB SS contests were combined into ONE contest which includes category options of MIXED MODE, CW or SSB.  That would keep it rolling for the entire contest.

Many of those who posted in favor of a second SS have not operated the
entire 24 hours of the current sweepstakes contest.  I don't think the long
exchange is an issue, it's just that working stations only once regardless
of the band really limits the activity.  The ARRL Sweepstakes starts out
fast and fun but it can get brutally slow near the end, especially on the CW
leg.  I am not proposing a rule change but I think one SSB and one CW
Sweepstakes per year is adequate.

Isn't SS the contest everyone says is dying because the exchange is too
long and there's no activity on Sunday afternoon?

Can we reboot the existing one before we add a second one?
