And once again yet another LennieRant is laid to wast by someone who
"was there", who lived it and knows better than the NewsgroupNasty
himself.

Watching him try to squirm out of THIS one will be fun!

Fifty years ago the US military wasn't using morse code modes for
long-distance primary communications on HF radio.


"Fifty years ago" would be the summer of 1953.

In 1960...

... the US Navy was using morse code on HF for the fleet "Fox" broadcast
to all ships at sea 24/7/365.
... the US Navy was using morse code on HF Ship/Shore circuits from all
ships below the size of CA (Heavy Cruiser).
... the US Navy was using morse code on HF for Task Force and Task Group
Commander traffic nets for all forward deployed battle groups.

In 1965...

... the US Navy was using morse code on HF for Ship/Shore circuits from
all ships below the size of DL (Destroyer Leader)
... the US Navy was using morse code on HF for airborne TACAMO
communications to deployed attack submarines
... the US Navy was using morse code on ELF/VLF for communications to
deployed nuclear submarines

In 1970...

... the US Navy still kept morse code circuits active on HF as fallback
for afloat units which might lose their Orestes covered ship shore
capability.

I could go on and on with other examples more recent that fifty years
ago, but I think you get the picture....

....your research on this matter is dismally flawed.

Good luck on this one now.

With all kind wishes,
