Ok, I'm "pretty sure" this is an April fools joke, but nevertheless, it is kind of a kool idea for an app, especially for HAMs or anyone else who wants to learn MC.
 
Love it. As a old ham from way back (still licensed as N7ALJ), I remember my code (which, by the way, is not "Morse" but "International"). So, I could do it!!!

I wonder if many people know that with a "bug" (special CW keying device), a skilled ham can send text faster than a small keyboard.

[nice April 1st announcement] :yesnod:
 
Feasible, no doubt.

LLCoolJ sold it. :smirk:

No doubt that's an April Fool's joke. What isn't though, at least <span style="font-style: italic">one</span> radio is on the market that operates Teletype (RTTY) without a keyboard by reading code sent to it by the operator.

CW/RTTY op here too by the way. I don't think I even know where my mics are.

Alas, most of my stuff is just gathering dust. I used to be active in the HF world (and used it when sailing in the south pacific as a link to home - back when there was little else). About all I have a key for is to tuning.
