yes Sweeps has those components, but I don't feel they will fare well in rtty.
Especially if the intent is to include low power, antenna challenged 
participation.
I had trouble printing some high power stations last weekend. And it's only 
going to get 
worse before propagation gets better.

So some guy with a dipole at worms eyelevel going to print perfectly???

I do cw and ssb sweeps. great fun, but a rtty version would be just the same 
thing over 
again.
I mean DRASTICALLY different. Not just the same contest, different mode.
