Except among some old-time hams. You know, the
ones that resist all change.

true and strange because doesn't that defeat a lot of the purpose of what ham
radio was originally about? inventing and changing?

Imagine if they had stuck to CW only and resisted all chanfge to AM voice
broadcasting.

Where would that put us today?

No music radio. No tv. Just a bunch of short and long beeps of morse code on
all radio channels in use.
