Hi Dmitri,

The problem is that they make copy more difficult under marginal conditions. Morse numbers are carefully structured so that TIMING aid in copy. You haven't lived until you're trying to copy a weak station with strong auroral flutter in noise from your neighbor's electronics, switching power supplies, and solar systems. And when you run high power with good antennas, you get a lot of callers running low power to poor antennas.
