Hello,
My colleague, Yasushi JA1DYB is currently developing an XP-savvy, pileup
training software.
You can download it from here. FREE!!
http://www.geocities.jp/yasushi_hashi/pilemania/pilemania.lzh

Station list file is included as "Zlog.spc", but this one is for JA
domestic contests, so replace that with the following.
http://www.jg1vgx.net/etc/Zlog.spc
(WW DX type stations)

How to play:
1) Replace "My Call" and "Send Number" with your own.
2) Make a CQ with F1. You will be called back.
3) Fill in the "Call", and press F2, it will send Call and your number.
   You can press F4 here to ask them to call you again.
4) Move to Number field with SPACE bar, then copy his number.
   You can press F3 here to ask them to send NR again.
5) Use Enter to log a QSO.

Your opinion and bug reports are appreciated. I'll forward them to the
author, Yasushi JA1DYB.
