Apologies for the 'dit dit dit dit dit' (error)

As for morse code going out of use? - commercially perhaps but try 
switching on any communications receiver, spinning the dial and twiddling 
the BFO.  There'll certainly be enough to keep Fernando amused until well

Since I watched my first war movie from hollywood I longed to have
an opportunity to use some Morse code. I've always promissed to myself
someday I would devote some time to learn it. Now is the time,
