[Elecraft] OT: Decoding high speed CW

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Peter,
Good for you!  N1NN+ is great and CW contesting is even better.
There are a couple of programs that will help you improve your copy for call signs and numbers.  These are Morse Runner and Rufz.
http://www.dxatlas.com/morserunner/
http://www.rufzxp.net/

Morse runner even simulates N1MM in a pileup and you can adjust the speed, pileup conditions etc.
Rufz sends one call at a time and if you get it right, ups the speed for the next one, wrong, slows down a notch.

Try to develop the following habits:
In Morse Runner Hit enter to start sending the call before you type the last letter of the call.
In Rufz when speeds get high, let the whole call go by before you type it it.

Use these a few minutes each day and you will be amazed how much better you will be.
73,
Fred KE7X

Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Decoding high speed CW

I became enamoured with N1MM+ after this weekend's contest and wanted to
see if I can use it for other stuff like CW. I got the keying working with
my K3S so that's no problem. The issue is I can't decode 30 WPM CW in my
head. I need help.

I've been using the K3 Util terminal for CW contests and that's worked out
well. I wanted to see if I can use both N1MM+ and K3 Util and share the COM
port with LP-Bridge, but apparently K3 Util doesn't work with LP-Bridge. I
also tried using FLDigi but the results weren't too great. It doesn't
decode most of the time.

Any suggestions (besides suck it up and learn to decode high speed in my
head)?
