Hi Shane Have you checked out Morse Runner? That is a fun program that will let you run any speed you wish. It's a freeware program and can be downloaded from http://www.dxatlas.com/MorseRunner/ You have to be careful, though, because it can get addictive :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest |
