Nobody ever claimed that it is a dead mode. Model Ts aren't dead.
Tailwheel airplanes aren't dead. Neither is CW.

However, the driver's license test doesn't include hand-cranking Model T
engines, nor does the airplane certificate test include 3-point landings in
tailwheel airplanes. Why hang on to an obsolete technology on the EXAM for
those who choose not to participate in the obsolete mode?

Moreover, there aren't special lanes on the road for Model Ts, nor are there
special runways for tailwheel airplanes. Why are there special segments of
the band for CW. Makes no sense to me.

Not bad for a dead mode, eh?
