Arnie, in global communications, SSB has pretty much seen its day too.
Comms are now digital and via satellite for many ships. Telecommunications,
both terrestial, microwave and satellite are almost exclusively digital.
Even so, no one is asking to shut down SSB in ham radio any more than CW is
being asked to shut down. Use it all you want...the test isn't needed to
use the mode.

That's not the take that JJ has. He continually refers to it as antiquated
and obsolete -- not worth using in EMCom. I completely disagree with his
assessment, and can prove it. The test was not at issue in this thread.
