Mike, i'm sorry to have to tell you this, but 'ham radio' was not really set up to be a showcase for
vintage radio. There is no way Morse operation is important to communications today. A vintage
skill comparable to calligraphy or archery is wonderful to preserve, but there's no way a
government bureaucracy should intrude itself into society by means of law, to preserve it.  -Hue
