[Elecraft] ot u want lots youth to do Morse?

[d.cutter at ntlworld.com]

I've found when demonstrating Morse to youngsters, they just love that word "code" which to them means "secret"

Not just texting, but an internet connection to send to each other, like a vertual radio, with Morse code chat channels.  There are some virtual radios around, but I hear they're not very popular, yet, they need marketing like text. 

Next thing they can encode/decode using online Enigma cyphers.  As long as the keys are public, it's not illegal.

The telcos could charge for the the decoder.... and it could be another money maker, (how to sell the idea to the phone co.) The user would have the oppurtunity to use it, learn it, and do away with the decoder, (save money) At best it would allow more bandwidth on the current system for calls, (I know, someone will fuss with that, but that's ok, it works that way) the interference of talking on a cell phone while driving, may not be all that much different, however, you wouldn't have to have both hands on the phone to text, and that is a plus, while driving. The final touch would be marketing, and that is a slam dunk! for everyone, not to mention, that sense the 200 wpm barrier has been broken, cw is rather quick now.
