Comments on: Who still uses Morse code? http://quezi.com/973 "Now You Know" Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:49:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: mvguy http://quezi.com/973#comment-1002 mvguy Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:45:48 +0000 http://quezi.com/?p=973#comment-1002 Where I live, many of the emergency-services radio repeaters use Morse code to provide the ID that's required by the Federal Communications Commission. The volume is low enough that it doesn't interfere with speech communication, yet it can clearly be heard. Although I got a ham radio license at a time when the exam included a Morse code test, I was never very good at it, but I'd still find it easier than texting on the standard 12-key phone pad.
