Fromm Wikipedia regarding cw operations in commercial service:
By the 1990s few ship stations were equipped for Morse code or had any
use for it, so coast stations re-allocated their Morse frequencies to
other uses. Some stations disappeared from the airwaves altogether, as
did KPH after being acquired by Globe Wireless in 1997.[2] Its Morse code traffic was then diverted to other stations such as KFS in Half Moon Bay, California, another Globe Wireless station. KFS continued to handle Morse code traffic until July 13, 1999 (Universal time; actually July 12 in the Pacific time zone)
when it made its "last ever" Morse transmission, ceremonially marking
the supposed end of commercial Morse code usage in America (as distinct
from amateur Morse code usage, which continues). This anniversary is commemorated on the air every July as the "Night of Nights" by KPH and other coast radio stations, along with radio amateurs who participate on their own frequencies.[4][5]
