[HBQRP] Interesting CW program - CW Skimmer

[Arnie Grubbs]

Hi Group,

I thought that I would pass along this link to an intersesting program that
I have been hearing a lot about lately on the Elecraft and LP-pan E-lists.

Its called CW-Skimmer. 

http://www.dxatlas.com/CwSkimmer/

It lists some of its features as:
====================================================
a very sensitive CW decoding algorithm based on the methods of Bayesian statistics; 

simulatneous decoding of ALL cw signals in the receiver passband - up to 700 signals can be
decoded in parallel on a 3-GHz P4 if a wideband receiver is used; 

a fast waterfall display, with a resolution sufficient for reading Morse Code dots and dashes
visually; 

the callsigns are extracted from the decoded messages, and the traces on the waterfall are labeled
with stations' callsigns; 

a DSP processor with a noise blanker, AGC, and a sharp, variable-bandwidth CW filter; 

an I/Q Recorder and player.
==========================================

This makes a nice display, like in a PSK31 waterfall, but for CW, with the callsigns picked out
on the edge of the display and text displayed at the bottom of the screen.  

A few of the Contesters have stated that there is going to be telnet support added to the thing to
give spots to other contesting programs, but it will not count as "assisted" since it is at your
location and not info off the internet.

This should be very interesting when I have the LP-PAN panadapter for my K-3 to allow the display
of 96 to 192K (depending on sound card) of cw bandwidth on this program... It could be interesting
on Field day!
