Alternative Server for CWCOM users

I have been in touch with a guy in Dakota, and he has kindly offered an alternative server for CWCOM users, if the current one should become unavailable.



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. 


73 DE G3MS 

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


Ionosphere server morsecode.dc3.com:7890

Channel Topic Speed (WPM)
200 News Headlines 12
201 News Headlines 15
202 News Headlines 20
203 News Headlines 25
204 News Headlines 30
220 Practice Words 15
221 Practice Words 25
