[Elecraft] NY Times story on end of morse requirement (withneatphotos famous hams)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I found the headlines totally misleading, but the stuff that sells papers. 

Morse Code: A Fading Signal

It may be the ultimate S O S - Morse Code is in distress

--------------------------------------------------------

An accurate headline would have been:

FCC Ends Morse Code Testing for U.S. Hams

Morse Code Still Popular Throughout International Ham Community

-----------------------

But those heads don't sell papers, especially to the general public audience
of the NY Times. 

Other than that, I also found the article nicely done.

An excellent article.  The first sentence says a lot for us.

"The language of dots and dashes has been the lingua franca of amateur 
radio, a vibrant community of technology buffs and hobbyists who have 
provided a communications lifeline in emergencies and disasters. "
