Two years ago one of our members, W4LT made a great SSB pileup tape  and a 
competiton was held at our dinner before Orlando Hamfest.  Being more  of an 
SSB guy than a CW guy I did pretty good.  However, one of the calls I  
missed in the pile was KH7XS...duh!

I don't recall  which "giant gun" station the recording came from but
several years ago  Gary W5ZL(SK) and I used such a recording to build a SSB
Competition for  the Austin Summerfest. The main labor, which Gary spent the
better part of  a weekend doing, was tuning the band/recording listening to
the audio,  using a Flex Radio and while doing this noting the calls heard
for use in  the check file.

During the competition the audio was played into the  same Flex Radio to
allow the competitor to tune through the band while  typing calls into a
small application for scoring.

At the end of the  event we both agreed that the small number of players we
attracted did not  justify the amount of work he had put into it. After that
we went back to  CW pileup competitions using the much simpler KCDXC
approach to  constructing the audio from a known set of  calls.
