<h1>Vail</h1>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
If you need this to work on a cell phone,
let me know and I'll come up with something for you.
</p>

<div>
<h2>Why does this exist?</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Who made it?</h2>
<p>
<a href="mailto:neale@woozle.org">Neale Pickett</a> kd7oqi
</p>
<h2>Future plans</h2>
<ul>
<li>Move to a more permanent URL</li>
<li>Make this page less ugly</li>
<li>Arduino program to let you hook up an iambic paddle over USB</li>
<li>Document the protocol</li>
<li>Support multiple channels/frequencies</li>
<li>Sensible way to make this work on a cell phone</li>
<li>Make this page less ugly (I really hate it right now)</li>
</ul>
<h2>How can I help?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Improve the <a href="https://github.com/nealey/vail/">source code</a></li>
<li><a href="mailto:neale@woozle.org">Email me</a> and let me know you're using it</li>
