(meteorobs) ping simulator`
New note from the MS/HSCW Bulletin Board
http://www.qsldot net/w8wn/hscw/papers/hot_news.html
Listen to MS pings - without turning on your receiver! Moe Wheatley, AE4JY
(Jan 2001 QST, p.35), has already released the second version of his Meteor
Scatter Simulation Program. The pings sound EXACTLY like the real thing!
(Little underdense pings only). You can adjust the number of pings per
minute, their S/N ratio, strength, length, speed, and the text; some of
these settings can be randomized. Set it for "straight-key-speed" CW, or
HSCW too fast to be usable even with WinMSDSP! The output of the program
can be played thru your speaker or saved as a wave file. (The wave file
will need some editing and other changes in Cool Edit before playing back
in WinMSDSP, but then you can slow it down and copy the text just as you
would on a schedule). In fact, the only way that you can tell that the
pings are artificial is that they are all the same shape (a "classical"
underdense ping shape). Even more amazing, Moe does not work MS! This may
prove to be a valuable tool for testing HSCW speeds vs. S/N ratio, etc. Try
it. You'll be amazed! Available at http://www.qsldot net/ae4jy/metsim.htm
