Re: Ideas / Recommendations for CW logging for field day.
|
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your e-mail.? We do have an API that would allows CW decoding software to transfer calls directly to our programs, but so far, I'm not aware of any CW decoding software developers who have interfaced with our software.? As you noted, he would likely do better getting used to typing what he hears (as most of the rest of us do), than relying on a decoder.? That said, perhaps someone else will have some additional suggestions.
Enjoy!

I'm pre-planning for field day and I had someone reach out to me with some questions on CW logging.
?
He is going to join us this year and do CW only. He does have some hearing loss, but otherwise very capable of doing CW, however he is not very keyboard proficient. Last year, he would write it down and we had someone sitting beside him typing it in as he finished the QSO. That meant he could only operate while someone was sitting with him as he felt he wasn't quick enough. He also felt he wasn't literate enough with the software to not make a mistake, but I think he did fine, he just felt he was too slow when doing it.
?
He wants to know if there is a way to decode the CW and push it into logger for him. He uses an AEA Morse Machine, but I think the difficult part is going to be the reception and callsign population of the sending stations. I've tried doing auto-cw stuff myself when logging and found it quite lacking and often prone to more errors than he would ever make. I would like to try to find something that would potentially help him out, though.?
?
Send me your suggestions or questions and I can try them out ahead of time and see what works the best.
Thanks!
