I"m not a real active cw op but it excited me when I saw it on qrz,
especially when a couple of brass poundres whom I respect talked it up
to me.  Hey if I were backpacking or doing my thing in the mountains
I'd be more likely to want to carry some kind of qrp cw rig and some
disposable batteries along so when the cell phone didn't have dial
tone and the repeater I could hit turned up nada I could always use
the code and be heard if the stuff hit the fan and help was needed.

I might also hook up a key and once in awhile listen on those
frequencies.

MIssed the url when I saw it in the arrl letter.
