Yes, Paul, I consider Morse code to be one of several "non-voice" methods of
exchanging information over radio circuits. The term "data mode" is somewhat
ambiguous, so I wouldn't call it that. It could (IN MY OPINION) be
described as a coding scheme used to convert alphanumeric information into a
digital representation which can be decoded at the distant end of the
circuit by manual or automated means.
But I wouldn't trivialize it with your loaded phrase "just another". It's
far too much fun for that.
In my opinion.
