under 26 WPM for the last ten minutes.  There is also an RTTY Sprint

RTTY.  Contact K4BAI for SECC, KU8E for GCG, and WA1FCN for ACG teams. 
For CW, please contact them immediately so the teams can be formed and 
registered before the start of the contest period.  KU8E will be guest 
op at WW4LL for this contest.  Look for C6AVA (K6VVA, Rick) to be QRV.
