[asterisk-users] Morse Code

[F6HQZ]

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...).

> 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.
