If you like CW, have you tried the morse version of Echolink (CWCom)?
It works in a similar way, and you can easily wire your key/keyer up to the
computer and away you go.

Download it from www.mrx.com.au

It's not radio, but it is definitely morse, and good fun. New faces are
appearing nightly, but new users are desperately needed to get the ball
really rolling....You don't even need to hold a ham licence.

You can send morse with a hand key or bug, also text each other via the
keyboard - but not speak.

The morse is real...not artificially generated. You can still tell the
different 'fist' styles that people send in.

Hook-up an old spare key to a serial plug (see the color photo in 'help'),
and maybe see a few of you on Morsenet1 (on channel 100) later.  (after
about 22:00 UTC)

Maybe if enough come on, we can arrange an SOC 'Channel' (there are
thousands to choose from) to meet up or use 'morsemail' to heckle each other
in morse :-).

All the best,
Chris G4PDJ
