SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

15       qrq  is  an open source Morse code trainer for Linux and Unix operating
16       systems, similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.
17
18       It's  not  intended  for  learning   telegraphy   (have   a   look   at
19       http://radio.linux.org.au/  for  CW  learning software), but to improve
20       the ability to copy callsigns at high speeds, as needed for example for
21       contesting.
22
23       After  starting  the  software and setting up the parameters (speed, CW
24       waveform...), the program sends 50 amateur radio callsigns. When enter‐
25       ing  a  copied  callsign  correctly,  the speed increases, otherwise it
26       decreases. Points are awarded for correctly copied callsigns, depending
27       on the speed.
28
29       A    scoreboard/toplist    exists   on   the   author's   website,   at
30       http://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file can be synchro‐
31       nized  with the online toplist with qrqscore -d and you can upload your
32       own top scores by invoking qrqscore -u.

46       created, for an user-specific toplist and configuration.
