[Elecraft] Morse is far from dead, gone and buried beecause of people like Elecrafters

[Lee Buller]

I just want to point out that CW is hardly a dead and
buried mode of operation.  There will be CW ops around
for quite awhile and as CW ops we must "promote" the
mode to others.

Elecraft's design philosophy is great towards CW. 
Elecraft will be one of many companies who will
continue to sell CW related rigs, items, accessories,
etc...for years to come.

All is not lost because of the FCC's/ARRL's decision. 
CW contesting is hot and many people participate.  CW
will be around for a very long time.

Operators who enjoy the mode need to be active in the
promotion of CW.  There are a lot of ways to do that
such as:

Get on the air regularly in CW
Join FIST
Teach someone the code
Help them through their first QSOs
Get people interested in QRP
Sharpen your own skills
Contest with CW
Check into a CW Net and pass traffic

I want to be CW proactive....not FCC reactive.

Long live Morse...and it will be around a long time
too.
