Free Morse ringtones
AndyB is a ringtone programmer for one of the largest wholesalers of ringtones in the UK and a musician and composer of 20 years experience. In his spare time, he is also to be found surfing the airwaves using the oldest of digital communication systems: morse code.
According to Andy, there has never been easy (or free) way to get personalized ringtones in morse code, so he turned his attention and his love of the medium to the problem and created a completely free web resource that generates morse code MIDI tracks playable on most mobile devices from whatever the user types in, available at http://www.braintank.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/midi/morse2mid.php
Andy said "Despite being an outmoded way of communicating, morse seems destined to live on forever and interest in it keeps returning in waves every few years. The recent Jay Leno test showing morse code guys easily whipping the fastest text SMS dude is just one example and there will always be an indelible romance associated with the golden era of morse in the first half of the last century."
