Nay... don't forget the Old Military Radio Nets(CW).... Who will keep 
the pre-1970s MIL radios on their predominant mode?

Can you imagine it 20 years from now... the MIL BA collector wants to 
show that his rig will operate in the CW mode, so he plugs in a key 
and does a "tap-tap" with his forefinger just touching the tip of the 
knob....(like you see on TV docu-dramas)  .... and asks, "Didja hear 
that?  Morse Code!"

What a joke! :-(
