uh, if you are deserted on an island with a few buckets of electronics
junk, your best bet is CW.

if you a prisoner of war, CW could be invaluable in getting a message

don't support audio.

i am a superior creature because i know CW! ;-)

don't feel superior. When hardware fails, my pencil and paper still
work.
