MorseKOB is a program I developed for doing landline telegraphy and American Morse with the help of a computer.  I’ve used it both as a practice tool while learning the code and as a way of communicating in Morse with experienced operators over the Internet.  While using the program I’ve met some great people on “the wire”.
