[SCCC] CW training

[David Hodge]

Just a few comments about these two programs..
RUFZ and the newer RUFZXP are great for learning to copy callsigns at ever increasing speeds.
And the program forces one to retain the sent information or trust one's intuition of what was sent
because one can hear the callsign a maximum of twice, and the second time with a score penalty.
The program finds where your limit is and holds you there. It is a powerful training tool.
 
LCWO has many useful features. One that I like is the repeat function. On callsign and word training
one can hear what was sent as many times more as one likes before committing to an answer by
pressing the period key. It becomes a crutch for me, though, and when I return to RUFZXP I suffer, hi!
 
After a run in RUFZXP one can resend the callsigns in the summary list, again as many times as one likes.
It is very helpful.
 
Have fun and 73,
