MoIP - Morse over IP

In analogy to voice over ip (voip) we can also do morse code over ip (moip).
2015-02-15 06:01:50 -05:00
A number of different approaches for CW over IP exist. Here we describe the
2015-02-15 06:53:24 -05:00
well-establised CWCom protocol (since 1998).
2015-02-15 05:42:12 -05:00
Besides a variety of other approaches exist, for example an IRC
plugin ([CWirc](http://myspace.voo.be/pcoupard/cwirc/)),
a [JavaScript implementation ](http://morsecode.me ),
a [bandwidth-eating UDP implementation ](http://hans.liss.pp.se/node/343 ),
a [chat for iOS ](http://pignology.net/cwwithme.html )
or a modulated CW over IP using Mumble ([iCW](https://sites.google.com/site/icwoip/)).

# CWCom Protocol
2015-02-15 07:03:03 -05:00
The [CWCom protocol ](/doc/cwcom.pdf?raw=true ) (cw communicator) is an effective method for transmitting
2015-02-15 07:06:49 -05:00
morse code signals as UDP packets over IP.

## CWCom Servers
2015-02-15 07:06:49 -05:00
The clients will connect to one of the servers using the CWCom protocol.

The source code for a server on a Raspi can be found [here ](https://sites.google.com/site/morsekob/server ).

## Compatibility
The original CWCom protocol has been extended for MorseKOB, as landline telegraphy uses
closed circuits (latching). There are mainly two server types for moip (see below):
the original CWCom server and the MorseKOB server. Both servers are compatible using a
2015-02-15 07:03:03 -05:00
relay server written by Bob Denny ([source code](https://github.com/8cH9azbsFifZ/moip-relay-server/tree/master)).
