#22Funny idea... but it's way too slow to react. (saying this as ham radio operator doing CW, so pretty biased, but I guess actual telegraph operators were much faster than I am...)
Maybe a stupid solution to that, but it would be cool if each city+location also had a callsign shown next to their messages, and would get highlighted on their screen if you include it.
That way you can at least get their attention after the minute or two it takes me to rattle off a message haha

#25Nice. If you want to learn Morse try https://morse-learn.acecentre.net/ (I must throw cursor at this to fix some issues like working nicely on mobile).

#29That is wild, I recently updated my own Morse Code teaching tool to v2.0 yesterday, and it's somewhat similar in concept to this: https://popcar2.itch.io/morse-code-simulator
Being able to transmit your signals to other people here is really cool. Makes it a lot more than just typing to yourself.

It seems to only recognize symbols when sent at the exact rate that it expects, which is extremely slow. That wouldn't be much of an issue except that the actual signal is lost, so the only way to communicate is through the site's interpretation of the dits and dahs.
