I'm trying to help a relative newcomer to set up his rig for the MiQP. He's just learning CW, we note that FLdigi can send and decode CW. I've used FLdigi for Hellschreiber and PSK-31, but never with trying to decode CW under contest conditions. From what I've encountered in MiQP and similar contests, there's seldom a condition where "good ears" couldn't work with a recevier 2 KHz bandwidth or so, which these software packages generally use with a rig in the SSB mode.

Has anyone had experience with using it, or another "digital" software package, in a simple CW contest like MiQP? It would help his multiplier count if he could make some CW contacts with an aid like FLdigi.

Please don't "put this question down" - I'd like to encourage the newbies to contesting to give it their all, and use all the technology available.
