[KL7AA] Re: KL7AA Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1--- CW Net

[Ron Godden]

I am interested in participating in such.  I am very slowly working on 
getting my cw speed up, and just need on-the-air practice at very slow 
speed, somewhere between 5 and 10 wpm.  If anyone wants to start a evening 
local slow speed need with practice traffic, I am interested.  Thanks and 
73, Ron, AL2V.
