Is there maybe something for receive newcomers?

Of course !!,

The  New windows based , user  friendly , Opera Beacon & QSO  mode , simply 
install , set the  dial to  136/500 KHz  usb , add  any  old  aerial  and 
watch the local  decodes of stations  on the  left  side  and  other 
monitors on the  right side , while  keeping  an eye on the  PSK-Reporting 
map  for  new  Tx stations   http://pskreporter.info/pskmapn.html,

No internet time  locking , No high  stability  oscillators  and  No need 
for  guessing who you  have  decoded ! (unless its  very good dx , then  its 
more  likely its   Mr Noise playing tricks !) works  with  or  without 
internet connection.

The only  real  traditional  CW  data  mode  combining   on-off keying  with 
state of the  art  Digital Signal Processing , in fact  on/off  keying has 
not  been  so much fun since  Jean-Antoine Nollet  first  shocked the  world 
in 1746 , a  hundred years  or so  before this  new fangled Morse  code 
'adopted'  the  idea !

As one Op32 user reported after  sending a 50 watt  beacon ........

''Just got a report from Harry PA3BHT, who is at 174 km from me.
He had seen that I was going on OP32 beacon and put his Opera on OP32 mode.

BUT he had not attached his outside antenna!! HI.''

The report was:

20:45 136 PA0OCD de PA3BHT Op32 174 km -39 dB in DELFZYL with 50w + 6 m Vert 
+ T

G :))
