[EIDXA] Working K1N on CW

This from a DX-CHAT post seems hardly fair.  It must be cheating.  As one who thought having two receivers was the ultimate step forward, I’m saddened to learn how far behind I am.  Now if K1N had used CW Skimmer/Flex SDR and a big display, it would have been possible for Glenn to pull out the W0’s with little effort.  Maybe the next DXpedition?

I find CW Skimmer to be the best software decoder program. 

Then when coupled to my Flex Radio SDR receiver it can decode an I&Q audio stream up to 192 kHz wide. This came in very handy during K1N to be able to easily "see" where they were listening in the pileups. 

It is also capable of decoding demodulated audio out of the radio too.

For sending I use the keyboard CW built into the Flex software which allows macros and free form typing.

For the people who worked K1N on cw by just using the vfo and listening, my hat's off to you! I never could have done that in 30 kHz wide pileups.

  First email I have gotten from DX CHAT in quite a while. I was wondering if it was still active. Please advise as to what a MRP40-64 is??? Google doesn't recognize it. If it is a CW Decoder, I have previously found that CW GET was about the best out  there. Would love to find out otherwise.
