NAME
     qrq - High speed Morse telegraphy trainer

SYNOPSIS
     qrq

     qrqscore [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     qrq  is an open source Morse code trainer for various platforms and operat-
     ing systems, similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.

     It's not intended for  learning  telegraphy  (have  a  look  at  http://ra-
     dio.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  wave-
     form...),	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
     https://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file  can  be	synchro-
     nized  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.qcb
	    Database of amateur radio callsigns used by qrq. Other files may  be
	    loaded.
     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.
