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.
