[LCC] CW Open Events

[K4GM-George]

I am in CWops and would be glad to sponsor anyone interested. Info is at 
cwops.org but basically I would need to work you twice at 25 wpm or 
better. I then nominate you and three other members must confirm by 
sponsoring. I plan to be there for the CW Open. We also have mini cw 
contests a few times a month lasting one hour. You don't have to be a 
member to join in the fun.
