Frank and /k1bO, It is both nostalgic and a reminder of one's impending or achieved "seniorism" to see the demise of the last vestiges of Morse Code's vitality as an important means of communication. It brings back reminders and memories of discovering for the first time the ability to apply one's own efforts to learn the code and to then be able to observe and listen in on parts of the outside world unavailable to most people; of that fear in the early days of one's amateur radio career of making a CW contact with someone and not being able keep up with the speed of his response; and to the feeling of fear and apprehension when, as a pre-teener, making the trip in town to the FCC office to take the code proficiency exams, followed by the elation when one passed. Apparently morse code has now run its last mile as a vital and continuing commercial communications solution. 73's to it and to all. Steve
