Not so, Mike.  There are several MF/HF Public Coast Stations still on 
the air in the US, using CW and RTTY/SITOR (commercial AMTOR) to handle 
public correspondence with ships.  Morse is not banned on the maritime 
channels, just no longer required for distress and safety purposes.

See  <www.radiomarine.org> for more info.
