someone said: "good cw rigs... since that's an obsolete mode, it's like shoes with button hooks. "

Of course, he doesn't mean it and here is the story:

There is no "obsolete" in ham radio, just as there is no "obsolete" in collecting and driving Model T cars, or using a wind-up clock, or the like. Ham radio must come to terms with the fact that it is a hobby, no longer cutting edge technology (for the vast most part) which few of us could afford anyway if we could obtain it.

The FUN of ham radio is making things work... CW or tube radios, or whatever and thus "obsolete" is out of the picture. I owns classic Collins because I love to look at it.
