Letter: Letters : Morse market

Published 6 April 1996

From George Mills

Watford, Hertfordshire

I strongly suspect that the denigration of Morse code is the work of
certain people with vested interests (Technology, 20 January, p 20 and Letters,
9 March, p 53 and 17 February, p 50). What they are actually after is the
wavelengths used, as these can be sold to communications companies (pager and
mobile telephone services) at great profit, with highly paid directorships being
a further reward at a later date.
