“..Morse was dropped in 2000...”

Yep. But it’s still good to know, a lot of fun and a lot of the older HAMs still use it.
Plus, ya never know.....it may come to the point that it’s the only way we’ll be able to communicate again IF space aliens take over the world.....LOL. :)
When I went for my Extra Class it was still required. I liked to never have passed it. Finally, on the 3rd attempt, I jut barely made it.
