With the apparent interest that youngsters have in Enigma Machines, and
the like, if we could excite them about Morse Code, then, if attracted to
amateur radio, they could realise a complete station for an outlay of under
£100,
and build it themselves and get the _REAL_ radio amateur kick!

Perhaps the larger clubs could consider paying the exam fees for candidates
if those
candidates can show proper proficiency in Morse?

It is Morse QSOs that the traditional friendliness still survives.
