Bill,

I can take a crack at this on CW (with a little warm-up, which I'm working
on this week!).  If I remember correctly (hmm ... I can also check.  Stand
by ... ah-ha! yes!) I can get a rough copy on Friday evening and check it
Saturday.

I'm also hoping I can be running RTTY by Saturday, but that depends on a
radio/computer interface that's on order.

Note, too, that the bulletin will be transmitted using PSK-31 on Sunday;
there will be at least 3 PSK-31 stations available, which gives us another
chance.

I'll print the W1AW schedule and try to make sure we get a clean copy to
submit.
