K7QO is not completely correct.
There are slow morse beacon stations on air on 80 metres here for those
who wish to learn, which send at varying speeds, and they are being used.
There is plenty of CW on 40 metres where SSB is difficult at night through
interference and heavy band usage (Indonesia is next door to us).
Nearly all serious VHF and UHF DXing is still using morse. With auroral
and TE scatter morse is usually essential. Aurora can make a horrible mess
of voices.I have made contacts on aurora and TE to Japan on 6..
In the past few years I have worked KH6 twice, T88, JA, FK8, YB0, and
heard XE1 - all on 6 metres and all on morse code, and all long haul..
