Yep. And putting aside the whole debate over whether or not the code
is an anachronism, I can't imagine that learning Morse would be *that*
arduous a task, especially if you're only talkin' about 5 WPM. The
code is relatively straightforward. Standard Roman alphabet as we use
in the English language. Then you've got your numbers and minimal
punctuation. No special characters to speak of.
