I'd like to see a dual-mode sprint, say 3 hours of CW and SSB each, low-power
only, with a break in between. Have a morning session on the high-bands 20/15
only, and the evening session on the low bands 40/80. If there was another
mode or style of sprint we could have a tri-athelon format. (Don't say RTTY,
please, the implications are staggering...a RTTY sprint?)
Another interesting idea is two-man-team sprint-duration contests. We need new
twists to contest style to encourage strategy and nimble operating, as opposed
to "I'm the biggest, loudest ... etc.". Of course, this is a guy that can't
afford an Alpha...so don't get offended. I operated QRP in Sprint last
Feb...but will never, EVER, do it again!!
