This contest will overlap the WW-Digi contest for six hours on Saturday August 
29, 2020. The WW-Digi contest starts at 1200Z on August 29 and your contest 
ends at 1800Z same day. Correct?

 

There will be interference between the two modes since WW-Digi uses traditional 
RTTY frequencies to avoid interference to non-contest FT8 operation on 
published FT8 frequencies.

 

I would advise using a different weekend.
