Hi Scott,

the other guys gave you some hints concerning the available software. Just
try!

But don't forget the best program ever invented: learning the code by
listening on the bands. Of course you should know the code signs previously.
But then don't hesitate. Look for some slow speed sending stations and try
to copy. It will be a little bit difficult in the very beginning. But then
you will copy your first word, the first callsign, a complete sentence.

And this is much more interesting than listening to boring computer
programs.

Have fun!
