Swapping the sprint weekends is one approach. However, to put the
shoe on the other foot, how about exchanging the XE and WPX weekends?
This is something the RTTY people can do on their own without any
need for cooperation from NCJ ... other than an agreement to keep
CW Sprint on the Sunday of the second FULL weekend to avoid conflict
in those few years that February 1 is a Saturday or Sunday.

The only problem with that is the Sprint weekends were changed in 1995
to avoid a conflict between two CW contests (the FOC Marathon and the
Sprint CW) on the first weekend of February. At least the FOC Marathon
stays down around 7025 +/- 5 KHz.
