It doesn't surprise me. The transmissions are encrypted and on very fast systems. CW is just for fun on ham bands these days!Do you know they dont teach morse code in the army/signals any more

It's all great until those fast/encrypted systems fail. Morse will still have a chance, even with lots of background noise

Feckin mad. Over-reliance on modern tech.Do you know they dont teach morse code in the army/signals any more
Suppose all you have is a torch to signal with?
Course semaphore has prolly gone too.
OK, line of sight, but still silent and only pick-upable if the enemy sees it.
Heliographs anyone?

I thort, and my knowledge of this is very patchy, that Morse was used when two hams couldn't get a clear voice signal but still wanted to chat?
My knowledge dates back to the early 70s when mates of mine at school did it.
amazed no one has yet put up a link to Tony Hancock's "the Radio Ham" one of his best!!

Indeed it was because of bandwidth issues as it takes up so little space. These days it is for SOTA comps and the older generation to show they still can!I thort, and my knowledge of this is very patchy, that Morse was used when two hams couldn't get a clear voice signal but still wanted to chat?

I agree, you can usually hear it. As I have been home for the last three months I have been listening in on cw comps (sad I know).
