Oh, did you think Morse code was obsolete and had no use in the modern world? Here are six ways the code is still used -although most of these gadgets were designed specifically for geeks who know Morse code to show off their knowledge. I would be impressed! Shown is a Morse code leather arm guard, a steampunk creation by Etsy seller ProfMaelstromme. http://blog.promomachine.co.uk/morse-code/ -Thanks, David!
Actually Morse code is still commonly used in radio communications. It is about 50 times more efficient at transmitting a signal than SSB (a common voice mode). There are other digital modes, but CW with code is the classic, and still hard to beat by much for weak signal communications (Princeton liars not withstanding).
