[wxqc] Removing a station from CWOP

[Eric A Hultman]

I did find information on the station's licencee - i.e. the person listed on 
the licence via the QRZ lookup but the email was invalid. I was hoping that 
someone could find out the CWOP registration email and possibly send them a 
notice if that account listing differs from the one I posted earlier. 

Good call on looking for the station's website. I found the website address 
when I did a lookup under the local repeater listings. Under that I found a 
new email address listed which I havent tried yet. I will contact them to 
see if they know anything. 

US MAIL,, whats that? :P
No I didnt mail the club yet, but thats a further option to try. 

Thanks,
 -Eric
