+ Vail +
++ This is a CW repeater, + named after Alfred Vail, + who may or may not have invented what's called "Morse code", + but clearly had some role in it. +
+ ++ Just like a radio repeater, + anybody can connect and start transmitting stuff, + and this will broadcast it to everyone connected. + If there's enough interest, + I'll add something like channels. +
+ ++ If you need this to work on a cell phone, + let me know and I'll come up with something for you. +
++ Why Does This Exist? +
++ I need a place to practice CW with actual human beings, + and I want it to be as close as possible to what I'd experience on a radio. + Also, I don't want to make people buy a bunch of radio hardware. + Nothing else like this exists on the Internet, as far as I can tell. +
+ +Who made it?
