[Waverley ARS] Paraset - operating CW resources

[Edwin Lowe]

For the guys doing the Paraset project and who will ultimately want to 
operate them, or for others who may want to revise/learn CW

Here are some resources which I have tried, but there are many more:
Some more links can also be found here

CW learning software
G4FON Morse Trainer
Morse Academy (DOS!!! but a goodie), which I used to learn

CW Decoders - plug audio to sound card and decode away!  Good to help 
out when CW decoder Mk I fails or you don't want to use it....
    CWDecoderXP - the best I've found so far to decode, which I use when 
operating. I think it can send via keyboard also, but I've never tried 
to set it up to do it.      I can't seem to find it to download, but I 
do have the setup if you want it
   
CWGet - works OK, but it seems quite twitchy to set right.  Will decode 
computer sent CW OK, but the moment I try hand sent CW, it's not as good

Ham Radio Deluxe v3.5 beta has the DM780 digital system which does 
decode CW.  I haven't used it extensively, but it doesn't seem to be as 
good a decoder     as CWdecoderXP, but it certainly very user friendly

Practice oscillator
If anyone wants to make one, I have a 5 component circuit here, so 
please let me know and I can scan the design and email it to you.
