I have been expecting this for several years. The digital modes have been
taking over the CW bands anyhow. Additionally, the hobby isn't a hobby any
more. It is called, selling new ham gear. But that's ok. The only people
in the CW bands will be those of us who have learned the code. Once we die
out, it will all be phone or digital movdes.
