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.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="mdl-tabs__panel mdl-card__supporting-text long" id="doc-faq">
|
||
<h3 class="mdl-card__title-text">Why Does This Exist?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I needed a place to practice CW with actual human beings,
|
||
and I wanted it to be as close as possible to what I'd experience on a radio.
|
||
I also didn't have a lot of money to spend on equipment, but I did have a computer, phone, and gamepad.
|
||
Nothing else like this exists on the Internet, as far as I can tell.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 class="mdl-card__title-text">What does "local" mean next to the repeater name?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It means this repeater doesn't repeat anything:
|
||
nothing you key in will be sent anywhere.
|
||
These are to help people practice and learn,
|
||
without worrying about anyone else hearing them fumble around.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 class="mdl-card__title-text">Why do I hear a low tone?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is the "drop tone", and will be accompanied by an error.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This means the packet arrived so late, it can't be played in time.
|
||
In technical terms: the timestamp of the packet plus the receive delay
|
||
is less than the current time.
|
||
It can't be scheduled to play, because we can't go back in time.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This could be happening for three reasons:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>You (the person hearing the drop tone) need a larger receive delay</li>
|
||
<li>The receiving computer's clock is in the future (running fast)</li>
|
||
<li>The sending computer's clock is in the past (running slow)</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Vail attempts to correct for clock differences,
|
||
but making sure your computer has correct time,
|
||
down to the millisecond,
|
||
can help with reliability.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 class="mdl-card__title-text">How can I help?</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Improve the <a href="https://github.com/nealey/vail/">source code</a></li>
|
||
<li>Email me and let me know you're using it</li>
|
||
<li>Vail costs me 50¢ a year to run: you could buy me a cup of coffee every 5 years or so to offset the expense</li>

The Internet isn't exactly like radio waves:
|
||
it still goes at near the speed of light,
|
||
but there are multiple hops between endpoints,
|
||
which buffer up transmissions, and multiplex them onto a single uplink connection.
|
||
These repeaters (routers)
|
||
are also allowed to just drop things if they need to.
|
||
It's the responsibility of the communicating parties
|
||
to work out whether something needs to be retransmitted.
|
||
Because of this,
|
||
there's no telling how long it will take for a transmission to get to a destination.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Each Vail transmission (packet) consists of:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>timestamp (milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970, 00:00:00 in Reykjavík)</li>
|
||
<li>transmission duration (milliseconds)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The repeater does nothing but broadcast everything it gets
|
||
to every connected Vail client,
|
||
including the one that sent the packet.
|
||
When your client gets back the exact same thing it sent,
|
||
it compares the current time to the time in the packet.
|
||
This is the <i>round-trip time</i>:
|
||
the time it takes for a packet to get from your computer to the repeater and back.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When the client gets a packet it didn't send,
|
||
it adds the <i>receive delay</i> to the timestamp,
|
||
and schedules to play the tones and silences in the packet
|
||
at that time.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
By adding the maximum round-trip time to the <i>longest recent transmission</i>
|
||
(the length of a dah, hopefully),
|
||
your client can make a guess about how much time needs to be added to a received timestamp,
|
||
in order to have it play back in the future at the time it comes in.
|
||
This is just a guess.
|
||
If you're communicating with somebody with a higher round-trip time than you have,
|
||
you'll need to raise your receive delay to account for it.
