MoIP - Morse over IP

In analogy to voice over ip (voip) we can also do morse code over ip (moip). A number of different approaches for CW over IP exist. Here we describe the well-establised CWCom protocol (since 1998). Besides a variety of other approaches exist, for example an IRC plugin (CWirc), a JavaScript implementation, a bandwidth-eating UDP implementation, a chat for iOS or a modulated CW over IP using Mumble (iCW).

MOIP

CWCom Protocol

The CWCom protocol (cw communicator) is an effective method for transmitting morse code signals as UDP packets over ip.

CWCom Servers

Architecture

Server software:

Bob Denny - http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/

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 relay server written by Bob Denny (source code).

CWCom Clients

Both chat programs have been written for CW exclusively and are compatibleRelay server for CW communicator and morse KOB: http://morsecode.dc3.com:7890Sources for the Relay Server: http://sourceforge.net/projects/morse-rss-news/.

An alternative implementation in C exists as well as a port to the ATMEL AVR Microcontroller.

What is IRMC?

IRMC stands for Internet Relay Morse Code. It implements the as adopted by MorseKOB. You can try out the software in a browser using Java.
