Default Morse

VOR's, which are above the FM band, broadcast ID's in Morse. However, the
dot and dash rendition is printed on the map. I guess knowing Morse is
one less thing to slow you down. I certainly knew it, when picking up a
private ticket, but never got a chance to use my highly refined skill,
owing to having no radio of any kind in the Aeronca 7AC's I've owned.

I didn't know airline pilots were required to learn it. I ought to have heard
of that, if true.
