Amateur Radio - according to the meaning that existed during the early 20th
century was not one of "non-pro" but rather a "lover" of radio - from the
Latin to love.

One thing that love does is join the loved to the beloved.  It is very
fitting that such a love also embraced CW which just turning on and off the
radio signal.  CW operators don't stop at loving FM, AM, or the digital
modes, they wish to embrace radio at it's foundation.  Such a love!

How great to be loved to such a degree!

Long live CW.
