- doom2 10mo agoOk? Just because there has been a drop in the number of licensees and the exam no longer requires Morse code wouldn't necessarily put Morse on a list of "methods of transferring information we may have lost historically that we don't even recognize". At least in the US, ham radio is far from a dying hobby and Morse code is actively being learned by people of all ages.
