CW Skimmer

CW Skimmer may be the biggest thing to contesting since computer logging. Or, maybe not. It's software that makes use of a simple receiver used with SDR (Software Defined Radio). See for yourself at http://www.dxatlas.com/CwSkimmer/

Features

* a very sensitive CW decoding algorithm based on the methods of Bayesian statistics;

* simulatneous decoding of ALL cw signals in the receiver passband - up to 700 signals can be decoded in parallel on a 3-GHz P4 if a wideband receiver is used;

* a fast waterfall display, with a resolution sufficient for reading Morse Code dots and dashes visually;

* the callsigns are extracted from the decoded messages, and the traces on the waterfall are labeled with stations' callsigns;

* the extracted callsigns are exported as DX cluster spots via the built-in Telnet cluster server;

* a DSP processor with a noise blanker, AGC, and a sharp, variable-bandwidth CW filter;

* an I/Q Recorder and player.
