Congrats, Pat, and good luck.
But why choose RTTY/PSK frequencies for CW?
Lower in the band might be wise.

> Hello,
> To celebrate our college turning 98 years old this month, our student
> amateur radio club N9GTC is running a Special Events station. The bulk
> of the club is made up of non-hams working on their technician license.
> (Most of the licensed club members graduated this past May.) As the
> club adviser, I will be present during the Special Event operating time
> so that all of the club members can get on the air. This is our
> opportunity as a contesting community to show a group of technician
> class (and soon to be technician class) operators what great fun
> amateur radio is.
>
> Our operating plans are;
>
> Thursday, Oct 29, 1400Z-1800Z, SSB, 21.275 14.275 7.275.
>
> Friday, Oct 30, 1400Z-1800Z, CW, 21.080 14.080 7.080.
>
> They asked if we could do cw as well. I plan to load the exchanges in
> the keyer and "translate" for them. Imagine that, some of them are
> interested in cw...
>
> If you have some time, please stop by the freq. and say hello to our
> students. Imagine if you were a non-ham working on your license what an
> experience like this could do to boost your enthusiasm. Some of the
> college's administration will be stopping by to participate in the event
> as well as they are big supporters of the club.
>
> I hope you can stop by the frequency and say "hello". We will send out
> a beautiful color certificate to all those that make it into the log.
