#HamRadio #MorseCode operators, get ready for #CW on ARRL/RAC Field Day! Use my version of Morse Walker to prepare to key (or keyboard!) your way to successful QSOs. Choose "Field Day" at the top.Set your Section and Class under "Your Station Settings" (and adjust "Responding Station Settings" and "Effects Settings" as desired).Press return in the "Response" or click "CQ".Copy a call as usual in Morse Walker, and press return to send. As usual, when you copy correctly, it moves to the next entry when you press enter.Copy Class (which currently won't be above 20 in this simulation, even though a few real station are) and press tab (not enter) to move to the next box.Copy Section in the final box and press enter to send TU and your call sign for the next caller.This is not hyper-realistic, but it's good enough practice to set you up for success. It's a trainer not a simulator. A couple things that you might notice: It sends more higher class numbers than you will see in practice. That's on purpose, so that you won't get thrown when you hear "18A" over the air.I did not add any mapping between section and call area. There's no weighting in my simulation that makes 4-calls likelier to be in the eastern seaboard. There's not even a mapping from Canadian call areas to sections, even though that's a requirement in Canada. Roll with it.You can't send "CLS?" or "SEC?" to ask for fills. Class and section are one-shot, just like RST and state in Morse Walker's POTA mode.The other change I made is that it shows how many stations were in the pileup, which seemed important information to me to put against how many attempts it took to pull a correct call out of the pileup. Thanks to W6NYC Henry for creating Morse Walker and making it open source, so that I could implement this. (I made a pull request so he can add this to the official version if he wants.)
