MoIP - Morse over IP
|
|
====================
|
|
In analogy to voice over ip (voip) we can also do morse code over ip (moip).
|
|
|
|
# What is IRMC?
|
|
IRMC stands for Internet Relay Morse Code.
|
|
It implements the [CWCom protocol](/doc/cwcom.pdf)
|
|
as adopted by [MorseKOB](http://kob.sdf.org/morsekob/docs/history.pdf).
|
|
You can try out the software in a [browser](http://kob.sdf.org/morsekob/morsekob30/index.htm) using Java.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why morse code over IP?
|
|
Why not? A number of different approaches for CW over IP exist.
|
|
An early implementation has been the CWCom protocol,
|
|
which has been the basis for Morse KOB, a ready-to-use software.
|
|
Both chat programs have been written for CW exclusively and are compatible. An alternative implementation in C exists as well as a port to the ATMEL AVR Microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
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/)).
