modes CW, SSB and RTTY are still going strong.
Some will argue that cw and rtty are
data but I am referring to the fly by night data modes Amtor, pactor,
packet and all the JT, wspr etc, tuning across the bands today I did
not hear any of these modes.
Mal, LF group,
you did not mention PSK31 (why?) - this mode definitely gained
permanent accepatance among radioamateur community
as it can be easily seen observing the bands through the last decade.
G3PLX, indeed, made a very good job! The varicode is based on
a Morse alphabet idea , it does offer a 'live' qso , you do not have
to be 'connected' ( arq, etc... ) with respect to its speed,
self-synchronization
it is really comparable to CW ( in some way , of course) and , again,
you did not mention this mode - was it by chance or by design ? :)
Oh, BTW .. speaking about the appliance operators - it looks like they
got a new 'toy':
