It doesn't surprise me. The transmissions are encrypted and on very fast systems. CW is just for fun on ham bands these days!
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!!:D:D:D

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!
