Vail 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. Samuel Morse clearly played a critical role in promoting and popularizing it.
|
Vail is a Continuous Waveform (CW) repeater. You can send a signal on it, and anyone else connected will hear and/or see it.

It was named after Alfred Vail, who, along with Samuel Morse, created and popularized "Morse Code".

How To Get Started
|
||||||
|
==================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you first open Vail, you are using the "straight key". You can press the button labeled "Key" to send a beep, and you will hear a tone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When someone sends something back, you will hear a lower tone.

Just like a radio repeater, anybody can connect and start transmitting stuff, and this will broadcast it to everyone connected. Also like a radio repeater, there is no indication of whether there's anybody else out there listening.
