Given my less than modest antenna situation I can only dream of rates
anywhere near this from my home station, but I too have been playing
with Morse Runner a lot recently. I have to agree with Barry, it's a
terrific pile-up trainer. I've only run the activity level as high as
4 and the speed at 35 wpm so far, but I'm copying just about 100% at
that level, so perhaps it's time to crank it up a notch or two.
A new ham I'm Elmering into the CW contesting world is also using it
to very good advantage. It makes for excellent, real-world code practice.
Kudos to Alex, VE3NEA, for creating and distributing such a valuable
piece of software.
