Deep joy my CW is not that good, not so much sending as RX... so time to do some practice.... For BERU contest how do you practice for this one?
First issue was what to practice on (yes got some previous years audio but that was from an odd area) so scraped a set of the calls of all the entrants from 2016 and 2015 off HFCC site for BERU (so just BERU calls) and fed that as a text file.
2015 & 2016

ReplyDeleteI suggest you download the open logs which are available on last year's results. Right at the bottom of the table is a link to the 'all QSOs' file. This isn't available on previous years as the facility was only set up in 2016.
Tnx for that info.
