Not so, Mike. There are several MF/HF Public Coast Stations still on
the air in the US, using CW and RTTY/SITOR (commercial AMTOR) to handle
public correspondence with ships. Morse is not banned on the maritime
channels, just no longer required for distress and safety purposes.
See <www.radiomarine.org> for more info.
