You guys did a great job! The costumes were great, especially since you were
using keys that most people wouldn't recognize. 

The comments were FB publicity. It all made the center point: Ham radio and
Morse code is still around and the most modern communications are not
necessarily faster. 

It really did a great job of 'poking a hole' in the notion that "higher
tech" is "better tech" <G>. 

And all of that in a few seconds as part of a simple little game Leno wanted
to play. 

No, it's not likely to cause a rush to the hobby. That wasn't the
opportunity or the point.

Of course, if you had lost the contest you do realize that you'd have to
take up collecting shells or basket weaving instead of Ham radio, don't you?
Hi!  

73,
