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?

Future plans
- Move to a more permanent URL
- Make this page less ugly
- Arduino program to let you hook up an iambic paddle over USB
- Document the protocol
- Support multiple channels/frequencies
- Sensible way to make this work on a cell phone
- Make this page less ugly (I really hate it right now)
How can I help?
- Improve the source code
- Email me and let me know you're using it
