[RTTY] How about a 160m RTTY High Speed Sprint?

[Robert Chudek]

After sleeping on my 5-day event idea, I agree that it sucks... So I've scratched that...

On the other hand, I think two hours is a little too short... If the contest was for 4 hours, you can get some momentum going... And you don't loose a huge percent of your time if you have a false start.

Also, I'm backing away from the idea of 75 baud / 100 wpm for a 160m only contest. I think standard speed would eliminate any confusion. I have been thinking about rekindling the old High Speed Sprint on the upper bands.

But I'm starting to warm up to your suggestion of being able to rework stations.

I propose the rules allow stations to rework each other within each 1-hour segment... That means everyone would be "fresh meat" beginning at the top of the hour... I can't think of any issue other than the software screaming DUPE at you... But you could setup a new log for each hour to get around this.

Any more ideas? Saturday, Sunday, weekday?

It either needs to be shorter...maybe 2 hours, or allow reworks after a
certain period of time or number of contacts (time probably better and keeps
away the "not yet" messages)

I'm against stretching it out over multiple nights.  I have a hard enough
time getting on for one! Hi!
