[Elecraft] K3 CW text decoder

"The second program is G4FON which provides random words at all letter
speeds and word speeds. Sample qso's are also included. I've made up several
text files of words from three letters long up to 10 letters long. This
provides the "sound of the word" as others have mentioned."

I've made use of the G4FON text file feature to create make-believe contest
signals for In-state and out-of-state (California), then play them back
while entering them into WriteLog contest software. Since there are 58
multipliers in the CQP each text file contains 58 different recorded
contacts. I.e.: 

 

K6SUJ <pause>    R 123  SDIE

W4VQG <pause> R 44   TN

               .

               .

KH6KO  <pause> R 105  HI

VE7RSI  <pause> R  277 BC

               .

Etc.

 

This helps me get off to a good start for a contest with everything hooked
up like for real. At 76 years young I need I need all the help I can get.
Like the man said, contests are fun.
