NAME
       qrq - High speed	Morse telegraphy trainer

SYNOPSIS
       qrq

       qrqscore	[OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       qrq  is an open source Morse code trainer for various platforms and op-
       erating 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
       waveform...), the program sends 50 amateur radio	callsigns. When	enter-
       ing a copied callsign correctly,	the speed increases, otherwise it  de-
       creases.	 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 syn-
       chronized 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.
