Very simple answer, Jim. The FCC has limited personnel today. The few
they
have simply don't have the time to sit around listening, as code users
pound out their incredibly slow conversations, to catch violations.

For reasons that I disagreed with then and I disagree with now, (but
that's another story) the FCC' s enforcement response is driven by
complaints, not by "Patrolling the Ether" (tm) as in days of yore.

How many complaints of amateur CW violations do you think "Riley"
gets? (Somebody pounding out "FU" in Morse on a Touch-Tone (tm) pad
on a repeater input does not count as CW....)

So what do we call it then? I have certainly heard F-U-C-K sent in Morse
on a repeater.
