Not so, my friend. I'm 43 years old and have in ham radio for 16 years. I've done a lot of things in this hobby, from just enjoying conversations with anybody to active contesting to emergency communications, and far more. I use Morse code, but it is only one form of communication in our hobby. We are always ready to serve, and we embrace technology quite readily. It's a shame that people don't realize this, and it's also a shame that some people on this thread make this a code vs no-code debate. No wonder we don't get more positive press...can't we stop that debate and just move on???
