RufzXP is a CW contest practice program for Windows. Users can work on high-speed telegraphy, post scores to the internet, etc. RufzXP (originally Rufz for DOS) sends a callsign. The user must respond with the correct callsign or points are deducted and the following call is sent more slowly. If the correct callsign is entered, full points are awarded and the following callsign is sent at a faster speed. This program is often used in high-speed telegraphy championship (radiosport) competitions.
