Knowing a little Morse code, the scene in Stranger Things where they set up a whole wall of letters was mildly infuriating. I guess if no parties knew the code that's what you'd have to do. But what a great reason to learn!
Ham radio operators still use it (they call it CW for continuous wave) mostly because it is really easy to hear over super long distances (inter-continental) with small radio equipment (often just a few Watts) through all the noise.
