When CW was droped from the shipping industry and from the military, the
hand writing was on the wall. Freight trains are hard to stop
Are you absolutely sure the military doesn't use it? I believe there are
elements of the military that still use it. Plus a lot of IDs use it such
as the FAA, and ELT etc.
It is a viable mode that will still be used.
What now, USE it, be EXCITED about it, and TEACH it. It will last as a mode
of operation, AM is still here.
Exactly my sentiments. If you believe this is going to clutter up the band
with "lids" then stay at the low end and operate CW.
