[Elecraft] OT: Decoding high speed CW

[Walter Underwood]

As far as I can tell, Morse is entirely a hobby now. Maritime radio stopped monitoring Morse on 12 July 1999. I did some searches and I don’t think the US military offers a Morse skill rating now.

You can make a living blacksmithing, but not with Morse code.

This takes nothing away from Morse as a hobby. Or from blacksmithing — my father was an amateur blacksmith.
