[CQ-Contest] CW with FLDigi?

[VK4TS Trent Sampson]

Hi Hank, 

>From VK4SN last year's CQWPX CW we compared FL Digi and CW Get interfaced to
N1MM Plus.

CW Get did the better job but the filters and settings needed tweaking - and
as we tried with an unregistered copy the settings are not retained. 

Both were pretty good - we used them on not so narrow filter 500hz on a
FT2000. Copy rate once set was over 95% obviously not as fast as ears but
maybe only a character in it.

Recently noticed that RCKLog will actually grab callsigns and serial numbers
from CW Get - this is also a feature of AA Log. 

Almost like running CW RTTY. Don't know if N1MM+ has introduced the
callsign/serial grab interface as yet.

Hope to hear your friend in this years CQ WPX CW

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.
