Morris Code -plus- Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission -and- Semaphore Signals ? Do They Defining Amateur Radio ?
Some old time ham in the area needs to step in and show the scouts
how ham
radio and CW can save lives and help communities in emergencies.
=====================================
In these days of mobile telephones, etc., morse code just gets in the
way of emergencies.
But there's nothing to prevent people who appreciate and love the
language of Morse, the way it sings, its universality, its beauty,
from continuing to use it way into the future.
It is the beauty of Morse, in plain English, never mind the
abbreviations, which boy scouts and others who show an interest should
be taught to appreciate.
