Weren't there some week night sprints somewhere in the past?
Seems like I remember something like that. I never did the sprints
back then though.
There were a group of "Midnight Specials" -- limited time
contests, mostly an hour on each of two bands, some a combo of phone and
CW. Some were announced in QST, some were announced other ways such as a
CD bulletin. Scoring was just a list of reported scores. These did not
use the Sprint format (at least not the ones I participated in). They
happened on various evenings at different times, depending upon the bands
involved. Much fun; little sweat. Then there were the Utah 160 Meter
Challenges---.
