For English Users of CWCOM..... This is how to access the Alternative Server.
Special thanks to Les Kerr without which the activation of the server would not have been possible.
All you need to do, to access the new server, is this...
1. Open CWCOM as normal. click on the "config icon" and select your keying method....
2. click on the world icon to open the "connect" window
3. in the " Remote Details " panel ........ > "Address" box,..... which normally shows morsecode.dyndns.com click there,
clear all text and type in
morsecode.dc3.com
4. click on Connect, as normal....
Note... you will not be able to contact anyone, unless they also are on the same server...
so you must make sure that others are also connected to the "new" server, to ensure contact can be made...
you should see their callsign/name on the "on channel" window, or the Ionosphere Server.... (Internet Morse Code Server which is different to the cwcom Ionosphere server page )...
To access the practice sessions and to see who is on the Ionosphere Server.... type this
morsecode.dc3.com:7890
into your browser, and click the enter key...
or this linky....
http://morsecode.dc3.com:7890
Note also... that you must check,...........
next time you "log in" to cwcom,
that you are on the correct server...
as this "new" server will now be the "default" unless you have changed it back to the original before closing last time...
Note... the "new" server, will be available on the "drop down" menu arrow, so you only have to type it in once.

Also available on the "alternative server" are the news channels for practice reception.... the channels are as follows ....

Thanks again, to Bob Denny in Dakota... for correcting the address for the alternative server !..
Error corrected on this page... so it should be "good to go" now... ( sorry for the error )
*****************************************************************************
The correct internet address for the alternate ionosphere server is morsecode.dc3.com (the above has an extra 'e' in it)
ReplyDeleteThe alternative server morsecode.dc3.com has it`s own "ionosphere channels page"... you need to copy and paste morsecode.dc3.com into your address bar on your browser, and "go" to view the page.
