Actually No, it was Baudot, and NOT Morse. Sitor was also considered
NBDP, under the rules, before GMDSS, and was incorporated into GMDSS by
default. I suspect the FCC just lumped all Digital Modes into the GMDSS
Label, and forgot to deal with the older NBDP stuff. I guess I should
call some friends back at HQ, and ask where all this stands today, but
I suspect that they really will not want to go "On the Record" with
any answers at this point.
