The Times - Morse is Dead

On Tuesday the Times newspaper published an article misleadingly claiming Morse Code was dead. At least one Radio Amateur was quick to rebut it.

The Times article "SOS, RIP" on July 1st inaccurately claimed that Morse code had died along with the SOS.

Tony Usher G4HZW wrote to the editor pointing out the error and his letter was published in the Thursday edition.

The Times article "SOS, RIP" July 1st can be seen at
