Introducing
The N6JSX Morse Code Training Program
for
Amateur Radio Beacon, Repeater, or general use.
CW-Full and CW-Demo

License
CW-Full & CW-Demo is distributed as "shareware". It is NOT
public domain or free software.
Non-registered users of this software are given the opportu-
nity to evaluate the CW-Demo software package for 30 days with no
obligation. If, after the evaluation period, you find CW-Demo to
be suitable for your needs, you must register your copy or dis-
continue using CW-Demo. Upon registering CW-Demo you will be
given a personalized copy of CW-Full.
What I'm saying is if you use this program, then you should
pay for your copy and get the FULL featured version of the pro-
gram.
CW is distributed in two forms: a registered (FULL) version
and an unregistered (DEMO) version. The unregistered version is
a partially-functional program that has nearly all the features
of the registered version.
The REGISTERED version of CW-FULL is LICENSED TO THE SINGLE
PERSON WHO REGISTERED THE PROGRAM AND MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED IN
ANY MANNER.
All users are granted a limited license to copy the UNREGIS-
TERED version of CW-Demo for the trial use of others. This li-
cense does NOT include distribution or copying of this software.

CW FULL & DEMO Program Description
Briefly, my intent for this program is to promote Amateur
Radio license upgrades. This program can easily allow any HAM or
HAM Club to install a Morse Code Training Beacon or play Morse
Code Training sessions over a VHF/UHF repeater. The program has a
USER configurable CW Station ID capability. The CW ID is sent
between every training QSO (about every 6 minutes). The program
randomly selects one of fifteen QSO's per code group and plays
the QSO. These QSO's are individual text files so USERS can
modify the QSO's at will. The program announces each QSO speed
prior to the QSO and the program sequences from 5 WPM to 13 WPM
to 20 WPM and continuously repeats the sequence cycle. Each CW
training cycle takes about 19 minutes. The program displays ALL
transmitted CW on the computer screen and the time each CW mes-
sage was sent.
The program sequence is as follows:
* Random generated PC tones (about 30 seconds)
* "UNregistered - N6JSX Morse Code Program" (20 WPM CW)
* {USER specified Station ID string] (20 WPM CW)
* Random generated PC tones (about 30 seconds)
* ## WPM QSO (5 WPM CW)
* VVV VVV - QSO - SK AR (## WPM CW)
restart this cycle - sequencing to the NEXT CW WPM.
Part 97.111(b) Authorized transmissions. "one-way transmissions
SPECIFICALLY authorized" (5) Transmissions necessary to assisting
persons learning, or improving proficiency in, the international
Morse code.
Part 97.203(d) Beacon station. 28.20-28.30 MHz, 50.06-50.08 MHz,
144.275-144.300 MHz, 222.05-222.06 MHz, 432.300-432.400 MHz.
No more than 100 watts output.
There are two versions of the programs titled CW-Demo.EXE
and CW-Full.EXE. The features of the CW-Full Program are:
>>> Automatic program operation - NO prompts required
Put the file into the PC autoexec.bat and anytime a
power is interupted the program will aoutomaticly
restart when the PC boots up.
>>> Full 15 QSO's per Code speed group for random selection.
Users can modify existing QSO files if desired.
> DO NOT CHANGE THE QSO FILE NAMES or TEXT FORMAT !!!<
USER configurable CW ID string/message - allows legal
Part 97 station ID - ID string played before every 5
minute training QSO.
>>> FULL 5 WPM, 13 WPM, & 20 WPM Training speeds.
USER configurable CW TONE pitch control
USER configurable PC Timing adjust - allows USER to
ensure PC plays proper WPM speeds.
PC timing test built in to evaluate proper WPM speed.
>>> NO Start menu stop or Exit messages and attention music.
*The FULL OPERATIONAL VERSION of CW-FULL is available on 1.2*
*(5.25") or 720/1.44 (3.5") [default] floppy disk for $30.00 US*
*cashiers check. Your registered call sign will be put into the*
*program as well as your serial number.
CW-Demo is a reduced version of the CW-Full program. The CW-
Demo Program are:
>>> ONLY - 13 WPM & 20 WPM Training speeds.
>>> Five QSO's per Code speed group for random selection.
Users can modify existing QSO files if desired.
> DO NOT CHANGE THE QSO FILE NAMES or TEXT FORMAT !!!<
>>> NO-auto operation, Start menu, Exit message & music.

*****************************************************************
This program was written for use on any PC (XT-586) with any
monitor. A cheap XT PC with a 10 megabyte hard drive is just fine
for this effort. Take the audio off the PC speaker and connect to
the radio microphone input. Use a 10K ohm potentiometer (can get
from any Radio Shack) for proper audio adjustment into the trans-
mitter.

You will need to investigate how to key up the your trans-
mitter as various radios have different methods and requirements.
BEWARE - NOTE: Ensure your transmitter has adequate heat sinking
so your transmitter final power amplifier does NOT burn up !!!
