Amateur radio, Morse code useful yet today

Wisconsin's Daily Union reports on Kid's Day, the ARRL event, which took place last Sunday.

They say:
At first blush, it might seem quaintly antiquated to hear that ham radio and Morse code still have enthusiasts in the 21st Century, what with all the smartphones and Internet-enabled tablets available.

Although popularly called "ham radio," it officially is "amateur radio," which separates it from commercial broadcasting stations.
