Or you could operate one of the ones that exist.
Like the "TOEC WW GRID CONTEST" - the CW version
was this past weekend I think.
If you would like to view the rules/results you can do it here:

Or if you prefer both modes on a weekend you might try the:
"World Wide Locator Contest" -- it even gives you
more points for QSOs on the low bands... It is in March.
You can read about it here:

Yeah - that would be a good time for a grid contest.
In fact I think there was one at one time.....

I guess it is good you live up in the northern part of the US.
Seems it is almost always painful on the low bands around here
and other points south.
