Whether or not you’re a fan of the new digi modes, here’s an opportunity to be in on the first running of a new contest that seems to be hoping to join the CQ WW family. I’m hoping to make some Q’s in this, probably as a QRP entry. It’s 1200-1200Z Sat-Sun , FT4 and FT8, and you will want the latest version of WSJT-X with “NA VHF contest” selected as the contest mode, so that your exchange will be your grid square. QSO points are based on distance calculated from the grid, rather than continents. Get your call in the record book! Rules here– https://ww-digi.com/rules.htm

Well if you took my advice you found dreary conditions with A=36 and a lot of very crowded digital segments, because it was hard to decide just where to spread out to. With qrp unfriendly condx I did best on 40m FT8, but FT8 is tedious to operate in a contest. Bottom line–slow rates, few DX and many doubtful completions. So, I have to believe, HF FT4 contesting is not going to sweep rtty away yet, much less cw.
