Hello Steve,
sorry, I wasn't operating the new DFCW-software, but Markus DF6NM did. Just 
before I decided to switch off my equipment, I saw Markus cq-ing in the new 
mode. It was a plaesure to see such strange  but well known patterns on the 
screen. And I could read the stream from the beginning without spelling the dahs 
and dots,hi.With the next over Markus told me a lot of words, more than I could 
reply in the same time of course. But didn't ask him what kind of software was 
in use. When I tried to run the DFCW-beta-version from Rik(ON7YD), I missed the 
startbutton. So I couldn't operate and I'm still waiting for his new design of 
QRS.

Ok Steve, You are right! I'll stroke the FDK in the term VFDKCW and will correct 
my webpage. I agree with Rik's DFCW(Dual Frequency CW)so far. But would suggest, 
to put a V at the beginning as an abbrevation for Visual: VDFCW.  Anyway, I like 
that mode and will switch over as soon as possible. 
   
BTW, the path was abt 176 km.
