    With the way things are going, Morse code will likely make a comeback soon.

      I know my country’s military never stopped. It’s still the best way to get info a long distance with low power.

      And of course on the amateur radio bands it’s also still alive and well.

          It really is! I’ve been trying to learn morse lately and get my ham license, it’s very cool to be able to communicate with people thousands of kilometers away with absolutely no infrastructure.

        If you built some sort of contraption that converted the audio signals to binary you would be able to send pornography

          Just encode your porn with the character set available to Morse code, and you can send porn via Morse.

          Or send lewd imagery as ASCII-art, which is a practice that originated with teletype operators and was widely used for testing their equipment in a fun way.

          The search term you want to look for is “SSTV”.

          There are a number of other digital modes that allow transmission of characters (RTTY) or any digital data (AFSK, “Packet Radio”).

        Navies will always use Morse code, even if not regularly for radio communication. Morse lamps are still the way of ship to ship communication that will work regardless of the time of day over relatively long distances when operating under radio silence. (signal flags don’t work all that well at night, and and are difficult to read from far away)
