Hi Tom,
MorseRunner is an outstanding program that I've been using for years in
addition to RUFZ and a few others (remember PED?). The limitation with MR
is that it trains the brain to listen for calls and a simple 5nn # exchange
and does not have the ability to simulate a contest that requires you to
copy additional information. Maybe a future enhancement will allow you to
customize the exchange...
Does anyone know where I can find a NCCC Sprint simulator?

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
