>   I couldn't help but notice there is another RTTY contest - CQ WW RTTY WPX Contest (0000Z, Feb 12 to 2400Z, Feb 13 ) scheduled next weekend.  The NA CW Sprint, which is a very popular contest in 
> the USA is scheduled 0000-0400z on Saturday night.   How about you RTTY guys cutting us some slack and don't call CQ low in the band on 40 meters during the 4 hours the Sprint is going on. The NAQP CW contest back in January conflicted with another RTTY contest and the RTTY QRM made the band almost useless.
