I would have gotten a General license back in the day instead of a Tech+ if I could have managed a few more WPM worth of Morse code. Then again, I was in a rush to study before the test (it was hard to find an exam in rural Iowa), so I barely managed the slowest Morse code test with the amount of time I had to study. I passed the written test for General just fine, though.

Me too. I learned it so I could listen to propagation beacons, since I started primarily on 10m. I still don't use it much with other humans, unfortunately.
