Hello list,
I was wondering if anyone has heard, in recent times, any professional
(non amateur radio) CW on the HF bands?
Now that all the traffic from 500kHz is gone, and the loss of
ship-going Radio Officers, there isn't really a body of skilled,
qualified, professional morse users out there, or is there? I know
stations like KPH in the USA are still equipped, and keeping the skills
alive, are there more?
Can it really be true that the only place to hear CW these days is on
the ham bands?
I vaguely remember mention of some HF CW traffic, but can't find the
information.
Do the military (not restricting this to the USA) still train in, and
practice, the use of CW?
I'd appreciate any leads, to HF frequencies or of any services still
operating in CW.
Regards,
John
