Tommy:

I think MorseRunner from VE3NEA (same guy who did the
excellent DX Atlas product) is an AMAZING CW pileup 
simulator!

http://www.dxatlas.com/MorseRunner/

It's freeware, so even the cheapest among us can use it,
and with the "Band Conditions" parameters set appropriately
and the "Activity" set to a reasonable number, the pileup
is pretty much indistinguishable from a day in the chair
at PJ2T (but without the ambient hot air)!

So, until I get back down to Signal Point in November, I'm
"working out" with Morse Runner.
