cw-term
is a simple yet powerful Morse code training program designed to help amateur radio operators and Morse enthusiasts improve their CW abilities. It provides various training modes, including the popular Koch method, callsign training, QSO simulations, and arbitrary text transmission.
- Koch Method Training: Start with two characters and progressively learn new ones at full speed using the Koch method, which focuses on accuracy and speed from the beginning.
- Callsign Training: Practice receiving callsigns, an essential skill for amateur radio operators.
- QSO Simulation: Simulate real-world QSOs (conversations) using standard formats to improve conversational Morse skills.
- Text Transmission (TX): Practice transmitting arbitrary text in Morse code, with customizable parameters such as speed, frequency, and volume.
