Vacuum tube amplifiers are still current technology for the high power folks, especially home builders.

Some morse shorthand is useful. CQ for instance. QRM, QSO and many more are all used for voice as well.

However, I will not defend the old guard too far. I get tired of the right-wing boomer conversations pretty quickly. Everything was better in the past....blah blah
