OpenShack CW

Learn it. Master it. Measure it.

A CW path for the first character, the next clean QSO and the pressure of a serious pileup. Train receiving and sending as two halves of the same operating skill.

One skill, three stages

From first sound to serious operating.

Beginners and experienced operators should not be forced through the same front door. OpenShack CW keeps each goal clear while letting the tools grow with the operator.

Free brings operators in

Start without buying the suite.

The Web Morse Trainer is the first free OpenShack CW entry point. It gives newcomers a useful place to begin immediately, while the full Windows suite adds deeper training, keying analysis, competitions, chat and operating tools.

Additional selected tools can join the free layer over time without making the full suite less valuable.

Tools for active operators

Train what happens on the air.

Recognition, rhythm, pressure and clean keying matter more than memorizing diagrams of dots and dashes.

CALLSIGNS

RufzXP and RufzXP TX!

The classic CW trainer, now both ways: copy callsigns with your keyboard or send them with your paddle.

PILEUPS

PileUp

Pick calls out of competing signals and stay accurate under contest-style pressure.

SENDING

TX analysis

See what you actually key, character by character, and improve timing instead of guessing.

SPEED

CW Summit

Climb through increasing WPM with personal-best lines, ghost runs and accuracy visible.

QSO

Morse Chat

Train CW by chatting with other operators or an AI practice partner.

TOOLS

Decode and inspect

Use audio and TX decoders as another view of signals and your own keying quality.

From training desk to remote station

Keep the real key in your hand.

The OpenShack Box lets the CW suite hear your paddle during training. Later it can stay beside the remote operator for immediate sidetone, paddle input and footswitch PTT—with Flex Keyer, OpenShack Remote or a second Box at the radio.

Personal best becomes a world view.

The next score layer keeps the current personal-best experience, then adds an integrated dashboard with worldwide results and optional callsign publication.

Publication stays optional. Compare worldwide scores in the dashboard, choose which results appear under your callsign, and keep personal runs private when you prefer.

Hear it. Key it. Work it.
