Have the maritime shore stations dropped Morse? I did a quick scan of
the 6,8,12, and 17 MHz maritime bands and all I could hear was TOR or
other FSK stuff. They used to put their calls out as as idle channel
markers and put out traffic lists with automated morse. (Easy DX and
a good way to check propagation).
