With Search and Pounce selected, the WinKeyer was setup so the laptop keyboard’s F1 key was QRL?, F2 the exchange (class and section), F3 TU for “thank you” and so on through F9. I have included a simulated display showing a decoded message. It was exciting when the decoder finally started displaying “CQ CQ FD DE CALL-SIGN” for each station I tuned in. It only took a few minutes to get the ICOM IC-7300 and CW Skimmer setup for reliable decoding. On the run up to Field Day I had some experience with N1MM, Fred ( AB1OC) added a WinKeyer and loaded his macros, and I had CW Skimmer already installed on the laptop. My ability to copy is improving but very limited. Having my license for only 8 months with over 1000 SSB QSOs and zero CW contacts in the log I wasn’t a CW op but the station was available and the field day clock was running.
Ira ( KC1EMJ) and I helped set up the IC-7300 80, 15, and 10m CW station.
