[CW] A good quote

CQ (Calling all ships...)

>From Chicago Sun Times FEB 2, 1999

``They're getting rid of the radio officer, who has the natural
resonance for communications, and putting in people with no knowledge
at all,'' he said. ``This is just the beginning.''

That is a worrisome trend on all technological fronts, not just Morse
code. Relatively simple technologies--few people could send Morse
code but most people know how it works--are replaced by complex
technology that most people can operate but few understand.
