no... the old hams have become as out dated as regen receivers... they
may think no ones notices... we do... it is ok to fool others, but when
you only end up being a fool from your efforts you have failed to stop
listening to others telling you about it... you now go on to tell
everyone else "how it is"--failing to comprehend that everyone has
already stopped listening...

Your comparison falls down. It is more like retaining the ability to
do mathematics with pencil and paper occasionally.

All the code readers I've seen fail except under ideal conditions
(i.e. strong signal, near perfect fist, little static, little fading).
