Yup, too bad the FCC eliminated the code requirement. I obtained all my licenses while the code requirement was still in effect. I rarely use it, but a key is included in at least one of my go boxes. Morse code knowledge has helped when flying aircraft, as some of the navigation devices identify themselves with Morse code. I won't say it's a dying skill, but there's a lot less Morse code activity on the bands, especially with the advent of the digital modes. Morse code is the first digital mode.
