Along the way, I also decide to create a Python script for storing CWs into, for example, @fiji CW list.

it will remove spaces, remove checksum bytes and automatically sort it out

Python: 
import os

def clean_hex_input():
    hex_string = input("Enter key here (or type 'exit' to quit): ").replace(" ", "").upper()
    
    if hex_string.lower() == "exit":
        return None
    
    if not all(c in "0123456789ABCDEF" for c in hex_string):
        print("Invalid input. Ensure it contains only hexadecimal characters.")
        return clean_hex_input()

    if len(hex_string) == 12:
        return hex_string  # If exactly 12 characters, skip processing
    
    if len(hex_string) == 16:
        return process_hex_string(hex_string)  # Process normally
    
    print("Invalid input. It must be either in BISS-1 format (12 characters) or CW format (16 characters).")
    return clean_hex_input()

def process_hex_string(hex_string):
    return hex_string[:6] + hex_string[8:14]  # Removing 7th, 8th, 15th, and 16th characters

def insert_into_file(hex_string, filename="hex_data.txt"):
    if not os.path.exists(filename):
        print(f"File '{filename}' not found.")
        return
    
    with open(filename, "r") as file:
        lines = {line.strip() for line in file.readlines()}  # Set for fast duplicate checking

    if hex_string in lines:
        print(f"CW '{hex_string}' already exists in the file.")
        return

    lines.add(hex_string)
    sorted_lines = sorted(lines)  # Sorting ensures correct placement

    with open(filename, "w") as file:
        for line in sorted_lines:
            file.write(line + "\n")
    
    print(f"CW '{hex_string}' successfully inserted.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        raw_hex = clean_hex_input()
        if raw_hex is None:  # If user types exit
            print("Exiting...")
            break
        
        insert_into_file(raw_hex)

CW List update 7 June 2025

Download Here

This time, in addition to add keys from this forum, I also add some keys that I got from somewhere else (like Thaicom 8 Ku band updated keys), Romanian football patterened keys till 2030 (thanks @klickklack !) and some randomly generated 12 hexadecimal digits by running

Bash: 
openssl rand -hex 6

I'm interested to add more patterned keys to the text

All CWs are sorted and duplicate free
