All,
 
Thank you for the excellent response.  Here is what I have so far and I hope it's correct and complete.  Please let me know if I made a mistake or left someone off the list.
 
Full Time:  AA8IA, KD8GOX, N8AA, N8BJQ, NA8V, ND8L, NW2K, W1NN
 
Part Time:  K8NZ, K9NW, N2WK, N8EA, WB8JUI
 
Possible:  K3LR, K8BL, N8SS, W8CAR
 
Also, please let me know if you're not on this list and want to be on a team.  
 
Should be fun. I just received a (full) team registration from The Russian CW Club.  I expect one or more JA teams as well in addition to EU.  Thanks!

>The CW Open is Saturday, August 31.  It's a competitive annual contest open to all amateurs with serious log checking, good sustained rates (winning rates near 100/hr) and a unique multiplier structure to help level the worldwide playing field.  It's not the same as the bimonthly CWops operating events, which are fun, but not adjudicated.  The following is some detailed information on The CW Open.  Hal W1NN and I are organizing NCC/MRRC teams for this event.  It's competitive, and we'd have a good shot at winning if we can field a full team or teams (10 per team).  Past results are located at the CWops website.  Please send either Hal or me an email if you're interested.  Thanks!
