General AA9PW.com Ideas

Welcome to the feedback forum for the AA9PW Ham and Commercial exam practice pages. HamMorse iPhone app suggestions would be better on the HamMorse forum but if you have any ideas or suggestions for the main site, please feel free to put them on here!

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

- enter your idea (new feature, fix bug, etc) -

(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

Thank You!!!!!!

I could not have passed the General and Extra with out this!!

Let user type in copy during practice, for auto-checking at end.

Now I write down copied code on a pad of paper and manually check at end of each session. Can be tedious.

Could the display rotate with screen orientation, portrait/landscape if required.

would like the screen display to rotate to suit orientation of my iPad when using. I often have my iPad mounted on a keyboard in landscape viewing. have to dismount and rotate to use the app.
Not a major issue, but would make it more user friendly at times. Ray, G3NDS

I'd like to see a data box I can paste text into and have your cw engine play them back.

I think your site is spectacular for improving ones code speed from 5 WPM up to any speed, once you know the code. there are lots of sites for teaching the basic code, but not much in the way for speed improvement. W1AW is not much good for improvement, btw.

In an effort to improve my cw speed, I have created a series of data files including various lengths of random numbers, 1000 of the most often used words in the english language, radio terms, weather terms, male first names, Ham manufacturers, etc. I have to paste the files into a cw program, which is clumsy at best.

I'd like to see a box that I could paste my text files into and have your cw engine play them back to me with the parameters that I put into your engine.

I'd be happy to share my text files so that you could expand your playback repertoir.

Help re: speed

I was able to speed at 3wpm for 3 or 4 uses of the practice on the RRS feed. Now it will NOT play that slowly. So instead of being a helpful program, it is a huge frustration. Can you tell me what is happening please? How can I keep the speed slowed down (for now).

ignore my previous post and publish this solution to my iPad sound problem

If iPad headphones work, but not the iPad speakers, the problem may be "soft mute". See http://www.spalding.org/faq/apple-ios-app-no-sound/586.
On my iPad, after tapping the Home button twice and getting the screen of shortcuts, I saw a disabled "bell" icon. I tapped it to enable it. I now have sound through my iPad speakers.

Not a suggestion, just a thank-you.

A great way to study and practice for the Technician exam. I'm still taking the practice exams and expect to pass the exam on May 16th with flying colors. Thanks again.

Make a couple of corrections and improvements to QSO test

Thank you for providing the CW practice software on your web site and for iOS devices. I use it on my iPad, iPhone and MacBook frequently. I noticed a couple of things in the sample QSO tests on your web site that you may want to take a look at.
1. The grading won't accept two letter state abbreviations in answers, or even a one letter difference in the spelled out form. For example, both "MA" and "Massachussetts" are marked wrong for "Massachusetts". While this is literally correct, it doesn't give credit to someone who clearly understood what the state was.
2. In the QSO below (pasted from your web site) the grading claims the weather report was "damp and foggy" when the word damp was never sent:

vvv vvv vvv n3nug/0 n3nug/0 de ke1po ke1po = fb es tnx fer call kevin = my name is norma = ur rst 547 547 = rig here is a yaesu ft1000mp 100 watts = the ant is an inverted v = our qth is boston, massachusetts = weather hr is foggy, temp is 27 f = ham since 1976 = here im a biochemist = i have to shut down now kevin, 73 es gud dx = n3nug/0 de ke1po sk kn

...
9 How did the sender describe the weather?
Your Answer: foggy
Correct answer: damp and foggy
Result: Wrong

3. A similar problem happened with an antenna question. The QSO said "= im using a beam =" but the quiz expected "hy gain beam" for the answer, even though "hy gain" never appeared in the QSO text.

Thanks again for some great software.

73,

Great tool! To make it better, I'd like to be able to concentrate on one subelement at a time.

I like to study one sub-element area at a time, and then test it.
