From STEPHEN BROWNING
Alex C. Morris is largely correct in his political and commercial
assessment of the value of Morse code. However, he may be premature in
publishing the obituary (Letters, 17 February, p 50).
Morse remains popular among radio amateurs for two reasons. First, it
allows people onto the air for minimal investment; and second, its narrow band
width allows slow but effective contact in noisy and overcrowded
conditions.
