Do people still use Morse Code too?

Morse Code is more popular than ever in Amateur Radio, AKA Ham Radio and is used by spy stations. Morse Code, more correctly known as CW (continuous wave) is loved because it tends to make communications easier when the airwaves are bad for lack of a better term. If your interested in learning CW, the best method to learn it is the Koch trainer made by G4FON. G4FON is the guys call-sign.

Speaking of secret messages. There are stations called numbers stations. These are spy stations that send coded messages in CW and voice (SSB) and can be heard sometimes on the air.

Keep your ears open in movies. CW is used a lot in movies. The real fun is being able to decode what they send. Sometimes its gibberish, sometimes accurate and sometimes its just plain funny.
