[Cwo] CW Open 2014

[Alan Maenchen]

Thanks!
TQP wouldn't represent much competition, but CQWW RTTY is huge.

There is no perfect answer. We'll need to chose the 'best', there being no
'ideal'.

Question: BWQP is mainly rag chewing .. I think (never done that).  Would
some overlap really hurt?  I understand that a lot of CWO participants are
also FOC.  The exchange may be somewhat compatible, although the intent
(purpose of QSOs) is vastly different. If we can't get a date where we're
dominant, then find a competing event where we might be compatible (QSOs
work for both events).

That's difficult, but a thought...

I'm back home tomorrow night. You can send me the logs (what you have) on
Tuesday and I'll start playing with them between washing cloths and
cleaning the house. XYL supervises.   :-)
