Dee...

Thanks for the tip. I actually found a website over in Hawaii that had ten
sample .wav and .html files that were just what I was looking for. All I
needed was a single current format to see what was spelled out and what was
abbrvtd. What I am making up for my students will be done out of an Excel
file that has all the variables in a table, then a randomizing function to
pick different combinations of letters, numbers, rigs, power, weather, and
then jam all that into a Word mailmerge file, thence to a text file. Sounds
like a lot of work, but it is really rather trivial. Took me all of two
hours to generate a hundred random QSOs, and I could generate another
hundred in ten minutes.

Question -- Which of the prosigns and punctuations are currently being used?
I suspect . and ? and / are among them, but anything else I need to throw
in?

For the purposes of familiarizing students with the exam format, it
doesn't have to meet the rigorous requirement of the actual exam material.
I made some for my students and did not try to be sure that each one had
all the required letters, numerals, and pro-signs. I just made sure it
had at least one call sign with the "/" as that tends to throw students.
They all passed the exam.
