Re: [amsat-bb] CW

Right, Tony.  And while CW may not be an international requirement (I doubt
it will be for long), it will stay on the band.  Look at the other modes
that have survived: RTTY, AMTOR (although not used much but cool), and even
AM!

Nope, CW will be there because a lot of folks enjoy using it.  It's also a
mode that you don't need to worry about people using it who don't know how.
That's kinda hard to do!
