Washington Times: Morse Code still relevant

A letter from radio amateur Doran S Platt III K3HVG has been published
in the Washington Times

The letter was written in response to an article that appeared in the
newspaper by Randolph J. May president of the Free State Foundation (a
non-profit, nonpartisan think tank). The article concerned the nominee
for Chair of the FCC, Tom Wheeler, and said that telegraphy was a
historic relic.

Doran K3HVG used the Washington Times letters page to point out that
Morse code is still in wide use by radio amateurs around the world.
