Hi Takao,
>1. What is the PARIS system?
>"Reception of letter messages of ONE MINUTE duration with the initial
>speed of 100 marks/minutes in PARIS sytem;"
The PARIS system is the standard used for establishing a "world-wide"
agreement about how fast a CW message is being transmitted.
Tthe word PARIS , with the dah/dit ratio at 3:1, contains 50
units: the PARIS standard counts dits as one unit, dahs as three units,
spaces between dits and dahs as one unit, letter spaces as three
units and word spaces as seven units. The total timing units per
minute divided by 50 equals the word speed per minute.
This is the definition of the "PARIS standard"; so when the rules
so state, this will be the way the CW sent at the championships
will be "weighted".
>2. How to get the DL3DZZ's "RUFZ" practice program
>"Competition with radioamateur practicising test, RUFZ call sign
>receiving programme compiled by DL3DZZ"
Am not sure that a practice tape for this test is available.
However, you could probably create one for yourself
using CodeMaster or Morse Academy programs. The
test to be given at the championships requires competitors to make
two attempts at receiving 50 callsigns (and typing them back
onto the computer keyboard) , and the best attempt is tken for
scoring.
The Championships comprises several tests:
a. Reception of letter messages.
b. Reception of figure messages.
c. Transmission of letter messages.
d.Transmission of figure messages.
e. Reception of mixed text messages.
f. Transmission of mixed text messages.
g. The high speed callsign reception/typing test of above
description.
Letter and mixed text reception messages are sent at a
progressively increased speed starting with 100 marks/
min for letters and 150 marks/min for figures, with
competitiors withdrawing as the speed becomes too
high for them. Messages may be recorded by hand,
using any symbols desired, or by typewriter. Messages
copied on contestant's own paper must be recopied
on official forms after a given test.
To enter contestants must be a member of a "national
team". You must contact your national IARU-socciety
to obtain agreement/permission to be a team member
representative for your nation. Your national society will
explain to you the arraingements it is/has made for
participation in the Championships to be held in
Hungary. Your national organization may be
holding a national competition to select the most
qualified team members. Each team is to have an
appointed Team Leader, and he/she can act as
an interpreter, trainer, etc per the official rules, and if
also a competitior, must be at least 18 years old.
Info is available from Klara Lendavi, HA5BA,
IARU Region 1 HST Coordinator and Laszlo Weiz,
HA3NU, HST Working Group member.
Good luck, Tack, if you are planning to enter!

this test does not put you ina real world where there are multiple
cw morse tones from different stations?
is a software system allowed to compete in this competition or it is
just for humans?
