We know what happened. You arrogant engineers are getting fewer and
fewer in number. Not enough new arrogant engineers to take your place.

Can you find code these days outside the ham band? Does the U.S. Army
Signal Corps have any use for code in 2006? Is there a wire telegraph
system anywhere in the world which uses some version or other of Morse
Code?

Every technology has its day and is gone. No one in the first world
makes wool like the Romans today (thank God - urine was an important
part of the process) or wories about using precisely designed
catapaults to knock down castle walls. (outside a special on PBS or
the History Channel)

Maybe there should be a bunch of technological options for a General
ham license of which one should be Morse. The ability to build a good
transmitter should be another.
