That era may be over but who cares? If you want to run one, just do it, 
no matter what era is.
In the early 2000s, CW was not part of the radio amateur licence exam 
any more. Some of those who didn't like the mode told us that the era of 
CW is over now. So, is it?
During the x-mas time in 2014 i run a CW beacon (50 BPM or so) and got 
email reports by dozens of radio amateurs and SWLs. Some of them became 
active on the band later!
So i would say it is worth to do it. You will see about the feedback.
