Try your luck.

  A Practice Mode for the PileUpNet Player

In an actual competition PileUpNetPlayer is the application used by the 
competitors to log the call signs they copy as a pile-up audio file is 
played on their machines under the control of the Host. Each entered 
call is sent to the Host for scoring. In the Practice Mode, which has 
recently been added to the Player Application, the user selects a 
competition from the past, logs the calls heard either on computer or 
paper, and at the end of the test session is presented a score and an 
analysis of the good and bad calls and, where available, is given a 
comparison of his results to the winning and average scores of the 
original competition. A history is kept of the results of each test 
session and can be reviewed as desired by the user.  Most of the 
competitions included in the practice are those that have been held over 
the last 10-15 years at the KCDXC Hospitality Suite at Dayton but data 
from a few additional competitions is also included. Although use of the 
application is straightforward a small set of user notes is also 
included in the download and serves to illustrate some of the features 
unique to the practice mode.

click on this link PileUpNet Download Package and elect to save the file

This will result in two files: the set of user notes and a setup exe file.

Updates - As they become available data files from other competitions 
will be added and from time to time changes to the practice mode may 
occur so check back for updates which will be issued as patches to the 
original application.

Download Patch 180-01:  Included in this patch: Added files and made the 
necessary configuration changes to integrate the 2013 KCDXC Pile Up

validation files and a revised configuration file.

After that you should be ready to try your ear-brain-hand at the Dayton 
2013 KCDXC PileUp. As commented by others it is a tough one. To compare 
your results to those that were there consult
