I believe that many ham messaging is now using the IP (Internet Protocol) but it's over the radio waves.

I think I know that foreign agents use it to transmit/receive coded messages without risk of interception/interpretation. It is much slower and prone to environmental interference (or intentional blocking).

I'll need to find my old Boy Scout Morse Code handbook!
