Hello fellow ham
Heya! The last time I held a license was more than 30 years ago. I dont know if HAM uses morse code predominantly anymore or not.
Morse is not even a requirement for entry-level level "Tech" license anymore, completely did away with the Novice class.
Like everything else, the push is going digital, computer controlled radios and software only rigs, SDR, satellite, etc.
Still a great hobby but nothing like the good ole days. But then...
What is?
Well, as long as there are rigs that run on batteries and can transmit really far, its all good. I am not sure if voice modulation requires higher wattage / morse transmits farther. I am gonna look back into this and buy myself a nice rig.
Oh yes, very true!
And it is still quite possible to make contacts half way around the globe on 1W using CW (Morse) when the band's are right! It all still depends on our sun, one thing that is not going to change, atleast not anytime soon.
Ham's are still some of the finest Patriots you could ever hope to meet, just great people!
I really hope you do decide to get back into it, it is more diverse than ever. There's something for everyone, that's for sure! (Met a guy in Orlando that is into Moon-Bounce, I didn't know there were any Moonies left around, he said not too many are!)

Exactly I’m still a noob, you can listen all you want. The weirdest thing I heard was a Chinese broadcast the night of the 2020 election, on 20 meters that blew me away. I haven’t heard it since then, now I know there was something in that broadcast.
