Morse Code accounts for a lot more than 5% of amateur radio
HF/MF operation.


That's obvious-to-the-most-casual-observer-with-a-receiver correct. It's the
favorite mode of a lot of hams (including you and me), and that fact isn't
likely to change.

It's also an inherently self-testing mode. In other words, if I'm on the air
using Morse code, then obvious-to-the-most-casual-observer, I've taken the
time/effort to learn it. The need for a government test is obviated by this
simple observation.
