NAME
qrq - morse telegraphy trainer
SYNOPSIS
qrq
qrqscore [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
qrq is an open source morse telegraphy trainer for Linux and Unix
operating systems, similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.
It’s not intended for learning telegraphy (have a look at
http://radio.linux.org.au/ for CW learning software), but to improve
the ability to copy callsigns at high speeds, as needed for example for
contesting.
After starting the software and setting up the parameters (speed, CW
waveform...), the program sends 50 amateur radio callsigns. When
entering a copied callsign correctly, the speed increases, otherwise it
decreases. Points are awarded for correctly copied callsigns, depending
on the speed.
A scoreboard/toplist exists on the author’s website, at
http://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file can be
synchronized with the online toplist with qrqscore -d and you can
upload your own top scores by invoking qrqscore -u.
FILES
qrqrc
Default configuration file
callbase
Database of amateur radio callsigns used by qrq
toplist
Default toplist file
qrq is looking for these files in the current directory, in ~/.qrq/ or
in DESTDIR/share/qrq/ (in that order). In the latter case, ~/.qrq/ is
created, for an user-specific toplist and configuration.
