Is anyone hearing any morse code on any of the frequencies outside the

Yep. Numbers stations, occasional marine stuff (although the Italian stations
have just ceased operation on 500KHz), various military stations, mostly
Russian, I think (they use Russian letters anyway), sometimes with poor
sending - presumably training sessions from the style of them.
I also heard a station sending weather reports in standard meteo codes the
other night. Various other odd bits such as a station on 499.5KHz at Xmas.

Nothing like as much as a few years ago, of course!
