The outgoing format is always CQ <YOURCALL> TEST


Incoming contact formats:
<THEIRCALL> 599 <NR>

where <NR> can be:
- normal digits (e.g. 001)
- replacing a zero with a T (e.g. TT4)



Sometimes contacts will prefix their callsign with 'DE', so make sure to listen carefully

An excellent morse-code CW Contest Simulator is a program created by Alex Shovkoplyas (VE3NEA) called MorseRunner.

After you set your own callsign and the speed at which you want to send CW you're set to go. I normally set a duration for 15 minutes and then click on the green Run button to kick it off.

The software is surprisingly good at realistically simulating various types of contacts; some slow, some fast, sometimes fading, with crackles and pops in the background.


Below are a few hints to help me better understand how the program works.
