Beetle said:Joe - what gives you the idea that "...code is seldom used in ham radio..."?? I use it just about every day and there's never a lack of contacts, both stateside and DX. Just have to pick the right band at the particular time.
Ten meters was good today - ran a string of JAs for about half an hour, using both International Morse and the Japanese version also. Takes me a while longer with that one, but my speed is improving as my Japanese vocabulary improves!
Code has been used by hams for decades, and it will be for decades longer.
years later I got a certificate for 45 WPM
