And what about if you're trapped in ship that sinks? What if the 3g
coverage isn't good? Or you have no more battery?

Does anybody use the Morsecode app for anything interesting?  I'm strangely 
fascinated by this core piece of Asterisk functionality.


Duh! How are we going to spread the word about how to take those alien bastards 
down if we don't keep morse code around!?!??!

Hi Chris,

Morse code is mainly used for HAM radio activity with Asterisk, 
connecting radio repeaters area through Internet.

It's often mandatory (local regulations side) to transmit from time to 
time and/or at end of traffic period a Morse sequence including the 
repeater (or repeater's owner) HAM radio call sign and position (and 
some extra info as time, temperature and so...).

You can read more about Asterisk and HAM radio here :

[asterisk-users] Morse Code

2010-02-25 Thread Chris Kairalla
This is just curiosity, but I'm wondering why the Morsecode app has remained 
part of the trunk for all of these years.  Is there any practical use for this 
or is it just an homage to the ghosts of telecommunications past?   Does 
anybody use the Morsecode app for anything interesting?  I'm strangely 
fascinated by this core piece of Asterisk functionality.

-Chris
