Morse code and its use is its own reward.  Next to
PSK-31 it is the most reliable form of
communication and it is so much simpler than that
digital mode with the modest of equipment
requirements.

It does not bother me in the least that morse code
seems to be spurned by some, or that there are no
more testing requirements on morse sending and
receiving capabilities.  Those who know and
understand the advantages of CW will continue to
use it.  Those who dont know or dont care would
not have used it anyway.
